Quotations from Rep. Ron Paul, stating that among the reasons for Islamic resentment of the United States is the 10 years of bombing and sanctions that brought death to thousands of Iraqis after the Gulf War:
"I'm suggesting that we listen to the people who attacked us and the reason they did it. They are delighted that we're over there because Osama bin Laden has said, 'I am glad you're over on our sand because we can target you so much easier.' They have already now since that time –have killed 3,400 of our men, and I don't think it was necessary."
"If we think that we can do what we want around the world and not incite hatred, then we have a problem. [With 9-11] they didn't come here to attack us because we're rich and we're free. They came and they attacked us because we're over there.
"I mean, what would we think if ... other foreign countries were doing that to us?"
