In response to Ron Paul’s reasonable and informed contention that our interventionist foreign policy

In response to Ron Paul’s reasonable and informed contention that our interventionist foreign policy

created the “blowback” that gave rise to Al Qaeda, and 9/11, Rudy Giuliani burbled “I don’t think I

’ve ever heard that!”

Of course he hasn’t heard it: he’s so busy pandering to the worst instincts of red-state fascists

Republicans, calling for a national ID card, and drooling at the thought of torture that he has no time

for a reality-based assessment of American foreign policy. That bullying would-be Mafia don, who looks

and acts like someone out of “The Sopranos,” demanded that Ron Paul “withdraw his remarks and tell

us he didn’t mean it.” Paul’s answer,

“I believe the UGGS is correct when it warns us about blowback. We overthrew the NIKE SHOX SPORT

SHOESian government in 1953 and their taking the hostages was the reaction. that dynamic persists and

we ignore it at our risk. They€™re not attacking us because we€™re rich and free, they€™re attacking us

because we€™re over there.”

In effect: screw you, Rudy!
