LOL! What is the difference? The fact that our globablist "leaders" decided to insert their influence in the ME by placing military bases there does not absolve them from blame.
Nor does it coincide with the will of the American people.
The policy has proven to be a failure, in spote of their stated "good intentions". Interfering with the internal affairs of other nations, even with "good intentions" is highly suspect, and goes contrary to the best interests of U.S. citizens.
"Using OBL’s logic to begin with is ridiculous, but to justify the jihadist actions by citing this fact is irresponsible and frankly sad."
FYI: We, or me, or even Ron Paul is not trying to justify anything.
The fact that the jihadists claimed it to be the reason makes it so, not anything we say.
"And it is absolutely a blame america attitude."
You can "blame America" if you want to, but I don't.
BTW: the word "America" is capitilized in my dictionary.
"Our country which has done so much to help the world."
Such as?
Do you mean trying to import "democracy" where nobody wanted it in the first place?
"It’s just disgusting."
By that I presume you mean the fact that foreign countries are not appreciative enough of our "good intentions"?
Why..For Shame!! They ought to KNOW that our "good intentions" are extremely valuable, and that they should fall on their knees and give thanks instead of trying to kill us. Harrumph!!!
“LOL! What is the difference? The fact that our globablist “leaders” decided to insert their influence in the ME by placing military bases there does not absolve them from blame.”
The difference being OBL represents no nation. We have permission for our bases to be there.
Yes, let’s capitulate to every whacko splinter group out there! Brilliant.
“FYI: We, or me, or even Ron Paul is not trying to justify anything.”
bs
It is absolutely a justification. Paul literally said, ‘we shouldn’t have been over there’....I say hogwash.
The implication is “if only we hadn’t been involved”. FYI, we are involved. After 9/11, ignoring the region became impossible.
This country has been putting our resources off limits to our use since Nixon and his EPA, not allowing us to use our own oil, gas, etc. With each successive administration, Republican and Democrat, the noose has been pulled tighter and regardless of what those who purport to represent us say, they have made us more and more dependent on ME and other foreign sources for our energy. Just curious. What has Paul done in his many years in Washington to change any of that? He can bitch all he wants and blame us for having troops where the source of energy is, but what has he done to change our need to be there? Does he, like many of the Democrats, believe we can use air for energy? Or is he like most of those, Democrat and Republican, who think we can conserve our way into living in caves with candles?
