Shepherd Smith from Fox News interviewed Ron Paul on this clip. Among many things, he asked Paul what would his message be to President Musharaff concerning terrorists’ possibly obtaining Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. Paul never replies without first giving us a history of American intervention in Middle Eastern politics. The US has aided Pakistan with over 10 billion dollars. Paul’s answer was classic: “No more money pal we’ve given you 10 billion and your flunking the course.” “Musharaff is a puppet of ours,” says Paul. This is why the people are trying to overtake that government. They do not want to know that one of their own is supporting the pro-Israel agenda of the United States. This is the theory of blowback. When you try to impose democracy and overthrow dictators, you receive the fury of the Middle East. Paul once again re-asserts the conspicuous fact uttered by the Founders: Stay away from foreign entanglements.
