“Paul responded by saying he supported the move to pursue the Sept. 11 terrorists.
He also clarified his stance on 9/11, saying the U.S. policies — not its people — were to blame for the attacks.
“They didn’t come here because you’re free and prosperous —they don’t go to Sweden and Switzerland,” Paul said. “…The 9/11 Commission said that the motivation was the fact that we were over there and we had been over there for a long time.””
He is not blaming America for the 9/11 attacks, he is rightly pointing out that because we choose to be involved in the ME and base our military over there we became a target for terrorism. It’s not a hard concept to understand, stick your nose in a hornets nest and you’ll get stung sooner or later. He has also said that he supported going after the terror groups that did this, just not the “nation building” that has caused us to be in Afghanistan for the past 10 years now.
Why did the Taliban destroy the Buddhas of Bamiyan? Because we were over there?
Or maybe it was because they're psychotic Muslims who want to destroy everything that's not psychotic Muslim.
Including us.
