While the message may not be savory to MANY ears - there IS a very valid message in what Ron Paul is saying.

Time for us to GET THE HELL OUT of other countries - and quit acting like self-appointed 'guardians of the world'.

Let them protect their own freaking selves.

This is 100% correct:

The purpose of al Qaeda was to attack us, invite us over there, where they can target us…. but we're there occupying their land. And if we think that we can do that and not have retaliation, we're kidding ourselves.

To state that it is INCORRECT - one does not properly understand precisely what Al Quaeda stated - and the mindset of the muslim mind. One does NOT have to like it - but one had better listen to it very carefully.

Maniati stated this VERY explicitly years ago - I argued with him at the time. This was especially in relation to our invasion of Iran - which he opposed.

I was flat assed wrong. He was correct.
