Once Again, Cue The “It’s Happening” Meme: Ron Paul Predicted This….

Ron Paul, 2009, on how American interventionism repeatedly leads to violent blowback:

“What’s happening in the Middle East, in particular with Gaza right now, we have some moral responsibility for both sides in a way because we provide help and funding for both Arab nations and Israel…
We have a moral responsibility, especially now today that the weapons being used to kill so many are American weapons and American funds are being used for this…
But there’s a political liability, which I think is something we fail to look at because too often there’s so much blowback from our intervention in areas that we shouldn’t be involved in….
As Americans, say, ‘Well, we have such a good system; we’re going to impose this on the world. We’re going to invade Iraq and teach people how to be democrats. We want free elections.’
So we encouraged the Palestinians to have a free election. They do, and they elect Hamas…
So we first, indirectly and directly through Israel, helped establish Hamas. Then we have an election where Hamas becomes dominant, then we have to kill them…
‘Well, yeah, it was better then and served its purpose, but we didn’t want Hamas to do this.’
You know Hamas, if you look at the history, you’ll find out that Hamas was encouraged and really started by Israel because they wanted Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat…
During the 80s, we were allied with Osama bin Laden and we were contending with the Soviets. It was at that time our CIA thought it was good if we radicalize the Muslim world.
So we finance the Madrassas school to radicalize the Muslims in order to compete with the Soviets. It just doesn’t make sense. There is too much blowback…”

There's not a perfect decision making trend by any politican, but credit to Paul he sees cause and effect.
