Only Ron Paul stands out as different. (It's who I will vote for).
But the others have this thing that we were attacked because we are free. But what about Sweden, Canada, Amsterdam and every other nation that is really "free er" than we are? Why don't they get attacked?
I think Ron Paul was right when he said that they attacked us because we are over there and that we have been bombing a muslim nation for 10 years.

London is not "free er" than we are. They have tons of laws, regulations, and CCTV on every street, corner, and light post.

I agree for the most part. What they do however hate about our freedom is that they don't want it to be influenced on people in their region, that is 1 reason why extremists hate Western society so much.
Another reason is because we protect Israel from what would otherwise be sure extermination by these same intolerant radicals. Another reason is because of our military presence in the Middle East, which is/has been meant to be a stabilizing force in an oil producing region which the entire developed world relies on, not a conquering and controlling force.
Whatever the reason doesn't excuse evil behavior

Dude... the bars in Canada close at 6pm! Sweden is a total controlled state and Amsterdam is not a country - but it is the only worthwhile aspect of the entire country of Holland whose inhabitants are taxed to high heaven and can't even afford vacations outside their country. That's free? Go live there.

Ron Paul is an eccentric at best. Listen to what Bin Laden had to say. He hates America because of our freedom. That is why he attacked. Anyone who thinks otherwise is hiding their head in the sand.
Other countries have been attacked in the past. So have other cities. The muslim crazies have not gotten around to all of them yet. Be sure that they are working on terrorism all over the world.

Osama Bin Laden didn't bother the U.S. until after the first Gulf war when U.S. troops were based on Saudi soil which is holy ground to OBL. That is why he declared jihad against the U.S. That is what he himself said before we were ever attacked anywhere. It is unlikely George Bush would ever repeat this because it was his father who put the troops there to attack Iraq even though that was a justifiable war.

Because they think we're stupid. Anybody who has an IQ above 90 should know is a lie, they attacked us because of interventionist foreign policies in the Middle East. Is not justified but that is the real reason we were attacked.

Yes, saying they "hate our freedom" is so ridiculous that I would never have believed people would buy it. They may hate a lot about the Western world but freedom? I can't understand how smart Republicans can believe that.

1st, How can you say any country is freer? Show me how, secondly they went after the biggest symbols of the western culture, we just happen to be the home to those. Did you forget that tye have also attacked, Briton, Spain, and several other counties' overseas interests?

i think Ron Paul was right also. I think some people would rather believe the good and easy answer rather than think for themselves.
Even Osama bin Laden himself has said that they will continue to attack the U.S. as long as we use their land for military operations and as long as we continue to support Israel. But the people who believe we were attacked because "they hate our freedom" won't listen to anyone else or reason. They do as they're told without questioning authority.
