Making his daily rounds after the event, and blames the assassination of Benazir Bhutto on the “interventionist” policy of the United States, and says Al Qaeda is justified in being “annoyed” at us.
Is there anything that isn’t our fault, Dr. Paul? Interesting that the first candidate to blame America for the Bhutto killing would be a Republican. The speculation here was which Democrat would be first to Blame America.
Good grief. And he also wasted no time at distributing his ridiculous message. Anyone who continues to support him should consider psychiatric evaluation. IMHO. Otherwise they might end up like Paul, repeating his craziness so often we have a pretty good idea who this nut case is. All he needs is a White Jacket w/extra long sleeves.
I see no facts or logic in blaming America for Bhutto’s murder. They didn’t kill Bhutto because of America. They killed her because she wanted reform. If he is too unenlightened to know that Al Qaeda hates women taking a societal role--any public role--he is not smart enough to lead this country. This murder is just another bump for al qaeda on the road to reforming the world in their image. Women are not welcome, especially educated, enlightened women like Bhutto.
You conveniently neglected the fact that Pervez Musharref was put in power by the United States for a small fee of $10 billion courtesy of the American taxpayer. This is why Ron Paul said, "the United States is indirectly responsible for what has happened." George W. Bush's buddy, Musharref has created an unstable environment in Pakistan which permits terrorism.
Great interview with Ron Paul. Of course he is absolutely correct in his assessment of the adverse impact foreign interventionism is especially when we support military dictators.
While there are other minor reasons for the rise of al Qaeda the single most important factor is US interventionism in the Middle East. Al Qaeda is an enemy we, the United States, created from the sands of the Middle East.

Funny how we don't feel this way towards other races. Just imagine if all of us acted the way that al-Qaeda does.
And I find it ridiculous that you defend such actions by this terrorist group, one of them which murdered 3 of my friend's dads.

I have never defended the actions of al Qaeda although I do know the reasons behind them. Al Qaeda is predomintately fighting against oppression and tyranny. Because of our interventionism in the Middle East we are perceived as a tyrannical nation and there is no doubt that we support tyrannical regimes in the region.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friends fathers. It is a pity that our US foreign policy has made us targets and, if anyone should oppose US interventionism, it is those that have lost loved ones.

Completely false. A large portion of the middle eastern population goes to great lengths to come here. They view America as hope and opportunity, a place where everyone has a chance to succeed. You are only portraying the radical side, which represents a small minority. Most people just want to live their lives in stability and happiness, that is all they ask.

Everyday, we should never forget those lost in this war on civilization. They won't stop when we leave. Their life is revolved around hate. Us leaving won't solve the problem. We will never give up the fight of democracy, until all the countries of the middle east are on the right track, like Iraq, Afghanistan, Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, Palestine and other countries that are heading in the direction of democracy. Everyone deserves a right to be free and a right to purse happiness.

Ridiculous. First off, your opinion is anything but humble. Secondly, anyone who believes differently than you seems to need psychiatric evaluation. Once again, we get to read more your way or the highway BS.

that comment was a joke. however, i don't know how someone can believe such things. do they really want america to become vulnerable to war by other countries? that is the outcome i garner from ron paul's foreign policy.

He didn't conveniently forget that, because you just made that shit up. Musharaf put himself in power by overthrowing the Prime Minister in 1999. Bush wasn't even in office then.
