YEAH HILLAIRY !!!!!
would not vote for Ron Paulywag, he feels we are to blame for 911
I believe what he said is that our continued presence in the middle east over the past few decades has been one of the major motivating factors for anti-US sentiment and terrorism.
He said quite plainly that he did not blame the victims and did not blame the US for 911, but was realistic enough to admit that we have been part of the problem, not the solution...especially in Iraq.
I listened to and read what he said on several occasions and I have to say he is dead on. We were sowing the seeds for the problems in the middle east back in the 60's and 70's and we continue to refuse to learn our lesson.
I really could care less about the knee jerk patriotic "we are never in the wrong, we are the victims" response. If we can't admit where we have made drastic mistakes and resolve to learn from them and adapt our policies for the future, then we will continue to screw things up as we always have and continue to watch our troops lose their lives.
