Ron Paul is "blaming America" again, say the simpletons. From his book The Revolution: A Manifesto: "The question [CIA bin Laden expert Michael] Scheuer and I are asking is not who is morally responsible for terrorism — only a fool would place the moral responsibility for terrorism on anyone other than the terrorists themselves. "The question we are asking is less doltish and more serious: given that a hyper-interventionist foreign policy is very likely to lead to this kind of blowback, are we still sure we want such a foreign policy? "...I have never said or believed that Americans had it coming on 9/11, or that the attacks were justified, or any of this other nonsense. The point is a simple one: when our government meddles around the world, it can stir up hornets’ nests and thereby jeopardize the safety of the American people. That’s just common sense. But hardly anyone in our government dares to level with the American people about our fiasco of a foreign policy."
