The Least Controversial Thing Ron Paul Has Said

Republican Ron Paul has some crazy ideas and theories no doubt about it.  He thinks there is no separation of church and state.  He thinks there is a war being waged on Christmas.  He thinks the Founding Fathers created a Christian nation.  And he thinks marriage should be Constitutionally defined as between a man and a woman, to name a few.  His continued remarks that American foreign policy contributed to the 9/11 attacks certainly aren't some of them, however.

(CNN) - Presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul reiterated his controversial stance Sunday that some policies of the United States contributed to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

Anyone with no foreign policy experience whatsoever can tell you our two-edged sword of American hegemony helped facilitate the anger behind the motivation that inspires 9/11-style attacks.  Heck terrorist groups themselves explicitly state to anyone that will listen the number one factor behind their anger is our policies toward the Arab world.  Our Endless War campaign, which is finally coming to an end, did more to inspire terrorism against America than anything else.  Saying they hate us merely because we exist isn't true.  Ron Paul is right about this.

Of all the crazy things Ron Paul says, this shouldn't be one of them.
