Ron Paul has never stated that the US was to blame for 9/11. What Rep. Paul has said is that the attacks of 9/11 were predicated upon the US economic, political, and military interventionism in the Middle East. This position has been supported by the US intelligence services in the National Intelligence Estimates and even Osama bin Ladin has stated these were the reason's for the attacks of 9/11.
There is little doubt that without US interventionism in the Middle East that 9/11 wouldn't have happened nor would there be a terrorist threat against America today.
