Is Ron wrong about 9/11, or are you?

I am perplexed at the folks who think Ron is lying about 9/11 just so he doesn't lose votes. Many folks on here are just certain that Ron is a "truther" but won't admit it because of the campaign. Well let me speak for myself, and a few million other folks who don't believe in the conspiracy, but do believe in blowback.
If Ron is wrong, and 9/11 was a government conspiracy, then Ron's key foreign policy position is massively flawed. The events of 9/11 are the single greatest bit of evidence that proves blowback is real, and that we should not be policing the rest of the world. The blowback was obvious, and logical. If the US Government planned it, or was simply turning a blind eye, it undermines the key component of Ron's foreign policy message, which is that interfering in foreign lands with no justifiable reason, and no declaration, results in blowback. 9/11 was the predictable result of our meddling in the Middle East. If it was a government conspiracy, then apparently, our meddling in the middle east doesnt' really piss anyone off that much, and Ron is wrong about blowback, and needs to change his foreign policy argument.
If 9/11 was committed by pissed off Muslim terrorists who were motivated by the same causes which have lead to numerous smaller attacks, then I guess Ron is right, and we need to stop trying to police the world.
I have numerous reason's for not believing the 9/11 conpsiracy, and just like global warming, I spent my time as a believer so I'm very familiar with all the "evidence". From my perspective, when you use logic and reason, the pieces just don't fit. There are still questions, but that is all they are, questions, not answers, and not answers that would convict the US government in any court of law. For all you truthers out there, if Ron Paul is wrong about 9/11, then he is also wrong about blowback. If he is right (or isn't lying), then he is also right about blowback.
I think more Ron Paul supporters than you think, don't think it's a conspiracy, just bad foreign policy. And if I know anything about Ron, I'm pretty sure that just like everything else he says, he isn't lying when he says that 9/11 was just bad foreign policy.
For all you who think he is lying, doesn't that basically destroy the most prized characteristic of our candidate, the fact that he is the only candidate in this race who doesn't lie to us?

This is always a conundrum

for you surface-dwellers, isn't it?

Eventually, if you work at it, you'll understand what's deeper down beneath the surface, and it will all come clear.
