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.

Ron Paul is right that the terrorists attacked us because of our actions, but you have to see the point of the other side. Is the U.S. to blame for 9/11? It's as much to blame for 9/11 as the Jews are for the Holocaust. After all, Hitler claimed to execute his "Crusade" against the Jews because of things they (supposedly) did.
