Ron Paul: France’s Foreign Policy ‘Invites Retaliation’

Former Republican presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul says bad foreign policy is to blame for the Paris terrorist attack on the satirical newspaperCharlie Hebdo that left at least 12 dead and 11 wounded.

“Well, you know, partially what the Secretary of State said is true — this is pretty obscene, when it comes to violence, and libertarians are pretty annoyed by anybody who initiates violence,” said Paul on NewsMaxTV’s Steve Malzberg ShowWednesday. “This is pretty bad.”

Paul said the context for the attack, however, was France’s involvement in the Middle East.
