Hmmmm......Rudy’s guy says it was our fault because we are sinners. Rudy blames it on specific bad guys. I think Paul has a better explanation.
Actually, one could argue plausibly that "free trade," which Paul claims to support, actually caused Islamofascism, because the trillions the Muzzies have earned selling us oil is the only reason why they have any geopolitical clout at all. I sometimes think the world would have been much better off if the West had just driven the camel jockeys into the Persian Gulf and taken the stuff. After all, it was our technology, men and capital who found and developed the stuff.
