After yesterday's Republican Party debate in Columbia, SC, in a post-debate interview with Fox News' Hannity and Colmes, Rudy Giuliani excoriated Ron Paul and in general the "blame-America-first" attitude for linking 9/11 and the effect of "blow back" or unintended consequences of US foreign policy in the Middle East.
"It reminded me of the Saudi prince that gave me the $10 million. He did the same thing: "This is America at fault, the way America has outreach to the world." Look, it's real simple what happened. These people came here and killed us because of our freedom of religion, because of our freedom for women, because they hate us...If you're confused about this, I think you put our country in much greater jeopardy. The reality is, these people are planning to kill us because -- and this is hard for people to recognize, I usually hear this on the Democratic side, don't usually hear it on the Republican side -- you've got to face reality. If you can't face reality, you can't lead."
