From the article:

On September 30, 2002, Pat Buchanan offered this explanation of 9/11 during a debate on Chris Matthews's Hardball: "9/11 was a direct consequence of the United States meddling in an area of the world where we do not belong and where we are not wanted. We were attacked because we were on Saudi sacred soil and we are so-called repressing the Iraqis and we're supporting Israel and all the rest of it."

I find nothing wrong with that statement for it is accurate.

Nice shot.

Nothing in that statement implies "we got what we deserved" on 9/11. Obviously, there are numerous reasons why 9/11 occurred as well as many ironies surrounding the whole affair. Buchanan's statement outlines the complex reasons why the majority of the hijackers were Saudi (why aren't we invading Saudi Arabia?) and the possibility of Iraqui involvement, nothing more nothing less. At least he has the courage of his convictions and is not afraid defend his positions from the attacks of the uninformed.
