RON PAUL: I do not see that we have the authority to all of a sudden impose our system of justice
across the entire world.
I do not think it is effective. I think it drums up anti-American hostility more than
it achieves justice.
RON PAUL: It has nothing to do with (our) national security.
As a matter of fact, our national security is more jeopardized by permitting this to
happen.
Because we are liable to start a war, we are liable to have our military men killed,
we're liable to have more attacks on us by terrorists.
RON PAUL: Our foolish policy in Iraq invites terrorist attacks against U.S. territory and
incites the Islamic fundamentalists against us.
RON PAUL: Our foreign policy of military interventionism has brought us death and destruction to many
foreign lands and loss of life for many Americans.
From Korea and Vietnam to Serbia, Iran, Iraq and now Afghanistan, we have ventured far
from our shores in search of wars to fight.
There is no evidence that this policy serves the interests of world peace. It certainly
increases the danger to all Americans as we become the number one target of terrorists.
RON PAUL: Our arrogant policy and attitude of superiority will continue to elicit a smoldering
hatred toward us and out of sheer frustration will motivate even more terrorist attacks
against us.
RON PAUL: I believe very sincerely, that the C.I.A. is correct when they teach, and talk
about "blowback".
When we went into Iran, in 1953 and installed the Shah, yes there was blow-back.
And the reaction to that was the taking of our hostages. And that persists, and if we
ignore that, we ignore that at our own risk.
If we think that we can do what we want around the world, and not incite hatred, then we
have a problem.
They don't come over here to attack us, because we're rich and we're free.
They come and they attack us because we're over there.
I mean what would we think if we -- if other foreign countries were doing that to us?
