Ron Paul said "The terrorists don't attack us because we are rich and free. They attack us because we are over there."
Giuliani started laughing and made some inane comment about how they don't attack Luxemburg.
What a moron. While he was giggling and tossing out that little fact he was completely proving his own argument false. I'm sure he was thinking Luxemburg is small and insignificant. What he missed is that Luxemburg has the highest per capita of any nation in the world.
If the terrorists attack us because we are rich and free then they would attack Luxemburg. They could probably even take it over given how small it is.
Was it lost on everyone the stupidity displayed by Giuliani's inane statement. He was laughing but clearly had no grasp of the implications of his statement.
And nobody in the media bothered to call him on his error.
Check this out:
Luxembourg's stable, high-income economy features moderate growth, low inflation, and low unemployment. The industrial sector, which was dominated until the 1960s by steel, has diversified to include chemicals, rubber, and other products. During the past decades, growth in the financial sector has more than compensated for the decline in steel. Services, especially banking and other financial exports, account for the majority of economic output. Agriculture is based on small, family-owned farms. Luxembourg has especially close trade and financial ties to Belgium and the Netherlands (see Benelux), and as a member of the EU it enjoys the advantages of the open European market. Luxembourg possesses the highest GDP per capita in the world (US$87,995 as of 2006)
