An excellent point.. Bin Laden wouldn't have hated us in the first place. I'm glad Ron Paul is speaking and giving a voice to the people who feel left out. That is a great position for him. Keep the Republicans honest and give them some of that good conservatism. But don't fucking say that you could have prevented 9/11. It's insulting, it's silly, it's frivolous, and it's irresponsible. |

That's nonsense. Pure nonsense. One of his more recent proclamations (recent as in one of his last) was that the west must pay for the crusades. These are people with an axe to grind and power to take who want to point the ire of their poor brethren at the western devil rather than at their corrupt church and governments. It'd be a hard case to make without our ridiculous, interventionist foreign policy to punctuate it. Paul is right.. The GOP is blind, they're mired in pointless wars.. It's all a terrible mistake and I resent being asked to fund it.. |

Muslims never required foreign invaders to go on the war path. That part of recent history in the ME is only one point to see. There are millions of other factors at play. Let's not pretend that we know exactly what would have changed history. Let's stick to talking about the world as it is and what we have to do going forward. Action and reaction, cause and effect. They have every reason under the sun to hate us.. We've given it to them. Pretending otherwise and continuing down this same, ruinous path, isn't going to get us anywhere. In the absence of US provocation, we'd have a just war.. That's something I could support wholeheartedly, as long as the goal was attrition, retribution and degradation. |
