A Blood-Thirsty Foreign Policy Will Only PROVOKE More Terrorism

The phrase "blood-thirsty" is most commonly used to describe those individuals with a lust for killing, and/or individuals who think that violence is the answer to everything. Therefore, it seems to be the perfect phrase to describe the neoconservative foreign policy and the Bush Doctrine.

Contrary to popular neoconservative belief, this doctrine is not a preventative measure taken by the Bush Administration to keep Americans safe from terrorists, but it is a foreign policy that strongly advocates imperialistic acts of unnecessary military aggression.

In other words, this doctrine promotes the cliché that "the best defense is a good offense." This may be true in football, but it is certainly not true at all in foreign policy, especially when "our enemies" are more than willing to sacrifice their own lives to kill others. This is a very dangerous enemy to have, especially for the American civilians.

RON PAUL: "CIA helped radicalize [terrorists]"

ED SCHULTZ: What evidence do you have, congressman, and why do you believe that Al-Qaida would be less aggressive to kill Americans if we weren’t doing international intervention and going and fighting them on their soil and going after them?

RON PAUL: Well, they didn’t exist till we got over there. We helped create them. As a matter of fact, our CIA helped radicalize the Madrasah schools because we were allies with them when we were trying to fight the Soviets and put them out of Afghanistan. So yes, we helped initiate that because they understood our argument. “Hey look, these communists are bad people and they’re invading your country, they want to take over.”
