Giuliani, potentially the worst republican nominee for president in a generation is all smiles now because Ron Paul told the truth and Giuliani was able to perpetuate the ultimate lie.
Paul said: "Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years."
This is the truth. The United States has made many enemies the world over for getting our nose in other people's business. We screwed around in Afghanistan and gave Osama training, weapons, and money to fight the Soviets. We get involved in the Middle East conflict, when we should just let Israel and the rest of the area duke it out instead of jumping in the middle of it with no coherent strategy except for standing behind Israel like Hillary stands behind Bill.
These things all contributed to our being a target 6 years ago and more so now.
Giuliani and his ilk (along with most of the democrats too) would have you believe that we were attacked "because they are jealous of our freedom." Or they will say "they hate our freedom." New Zealand, Switzerland, Japan, Sweden, and many other countries are also free. Are they the targets of terrorist attacks? No. Because they have the policy to not get involved in the Middle East.
Paul is right, but the Republicans have all but austracized him for these comments. It is too bad that the American people are stupid enough to believe the greatest lie of all, that we were attacked for our freedom when we were attacked for our policies.
I am glad that The Nation has pointed out that Ron Paul's assessment is coming straight from the 9/11 Commission's report. As he said, he's the only one who bothered to read the report.

I like Mr. Paul. He seems to be honest and doesn't sugarcoat about how he feels about the current gov't. He's a real conservative with great views and has my support. I hope all of y'all reading this support him too.
