“Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us. They attack us because we’ve been over there, we’ve been bombing Iraq for ten years.” Ron Paul”

In case you forgot. Just as Mr. Paul seemed to forget that we bombed Iraq when Saddam Hussein’s military targeted British and American planes in the no-fly zones and then when he stopped letting the inspectors in.

Why in the world would you assume Paul forgot this? Or that it would matter one whit to Al Qaeda anyway?

You are correct. And so was Ron. Explaining why our enemy attacked us does not justify it.

1. Saddam refused to let inspectors in.

2. We bombed him.

3. Islamos got angry over that and used it as justification to attack us.

Ron Paul never says that any Islamic moves are justified, nor does he imply they were.

We bombed them when Clinton needed to wag the dog. We bombed them when we thought they were hiding something as well. We also bombed them enforcing a no fly zone which the UN Considered illegal so that we could enforce a UN resolution. Makes sense to me.
