Ron Paul Right and Rudy Wrong

Just watched the debate. Rudy blew a gasket when Ron talked about 9/11. So we are "over there" so they won't come "over here"?

Terrorism does not happen in a vacuum. Think it does? When was the last time Switzerland was attacked??? They are a democracy, wealthy and free just like us, but no terrorism.

Does that excuse 9/11? NO but to PREVENT another we need to look at the cause. There are two roads we can take, we analyze the costs and benefits and then choose.

First we withdraw from the Mid-east
Second we play global policeman

Only an idiot would believe if we choose the second path we can stop terror. We will in fact be creating another generation of terrorists and a self fulfilling prophecy. This road WILL end with a dictatorship in America. With another terror attack or two we will react by curtailing liberty again. Eventually this loss of liberty will result in HOMEGROWN terror attacks as citizens begin to revolt against the authoritarian measures.

What Ron said was unpleasant, but true nevertheless. The only question is can the American people (and the Republican party) handle the truth?

I hope they can!
