Pointing out that US interference into other nation's affairs can motivate them to strike at the US is not the same as blaming us for the attack, it's just stating fact.
Ron Paul is a poser. When you RP supporters are mystified as to why he doesn't have more support on FR, that's your answer...
He doesn't have a lot of support here because most freepers are big-gov't republicans - you know, people who think massive, all-intrusive fedgov is good as long as the guys running things have an (R) next to their names.
A lot of y'all know that if you admit that Iraq & the endless occupation of Afghanistan were mistakes, then you admit that hundreds of thousands of unecessary deaths and trillions of dollars in wasted capital is your fault.
Also, many (most? all?) of you neocon war-lovers are parasites, sucking up the tax-dollars of productive workers like me. The thought of a principled reformer like Ron Paul gaining power and cutting you off from the gov't cheese scares the crap out of you.
Which is why he thinks it's no big deal if a "primitive, stupid and dangerous animal" like Ahmadinejad has a nuclear arsenal at his disposal.
Maybe he thinks that...
a. he doesn't have one.
b. if he gets one, and there's a credible threat that he'll use it, the Israelis will deal with the threat long before it threatens the US.
The world's full of potential threats, my FRiend. Cower under your bed in fear of them if you must, but otherwise just sit back & let the adults deal with those threats, if they ever become actual problems.
“Pointing out that US interference into other nation’s affairs can motivate them to strike at the US is not the same as blaming us for the attack, it’s just stating fact.”
This is so true, it deserves being repeated. It’s amazing how many on the right can’t understand this.

Ah...posting from an alternate reality, I see. Ooh, I'll bet the version of me over there is clean-shaven, since I wear a goatee. Pretty cool.

The reason why we aren’t scared is because we are strong and handle threats.
Paul talks of the military industrial complex. He’d weaken our defense and withdrawl from the world.
Obama is stronger on terrorists than Paul. He is at least putting drones into Pakistan to go after Taliban and AQ.
Paul is to the left of Hussein Obama....lol...what a fruitcake Paul is.
