Paul: This whole idea that the whole Muslim world is responsible for this and they're attacking us because we're free and prosperous, that is just not true! Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda have been explicit. [mixed applause and boos from audience] They have been explicit, and they wrote and said - [audience booing] that we attacked - we attacked America because you had bases on our holy land in Saudi Arabia, you do not give Palestinians a fair treatment, and you have been bombing - [loud boos] I didn't say that; I'm trying to get you to understand what the motive was behind the bombing. At the same time, we had been bombing and killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis for ten years! Would you be annoyed? If you're not annoyed - [Moderator: Thank you, Congressman.] - then there's some problem! More info: Clip of Republican debate which was shown on Democracy Now.
