Our very own House rep and presidential candidate Ron Paul stole the show at last night's Republican presidential debates by blaming American foreign policy for spurring Bin Laden to attack us on 9/11.
Quote:
"They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years. We've been in the Middle East [for years]. I think (Ronald) Reagan was right. We don't understand the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics. Right now, we're building an embassy in Iraq that is bigger than the Vatican. We're building 14 permanent bases. What would we say here if China was doing this in our country or in the Gulf of Mexico? We would be objecting."
Does he have a point? Is our need to flex muscle bad policy?
