As he has said in the past about the attacks of September 11, 2001, Ron Paul again argued Wednesday that bad foreign policy, this time on the part of France, invites retaliation, now in the form of todays shooting at Charlie Hebdos Paris offices. <\/p>\n
Paul made his comments in an interview with NewsmaxTVs Steve Malzberg, saying he does not blame the country of France for the attack, but he does blame on bad policy that we dont fully understand. He added, It doesnt justify, but it explains it. <\/p>\n
This is pretty obscene, when it comes to violence, and libertarians are pretty annoyed by anybody who initiates violence, Paul said of the attacks, explaining that France has been a target for many, many years, because theyve been involved in foreign affairs in Libya and Algeria. <\/p>\n
Citing U.S. wars in the Middle East, drone strikes and sending weapons into Syria, Paul said, Its that overall policy which invites retaliation, and they see us as intruders. He added, Weve been conditioned to believe that the only reason 9\/11 happened is that we are free and prosperous. I dont believe that for a minute. <\/p>\n
