Rudy, are you with me? ITS OVER!

So Rudy Giuliani is going after more Republicans for being part of the "blame America first" crowd. Now, three days after the attacks this would seem to be a good accusation given the immense pain and suffering that the country had recently been put through, but that period is over. When Republicans Ron and Rand Paul say our neoconservative policies are partially responsible for the international animosity that resulted in the September 11 attacks, they are doing so out of a firm desire to prevent such attacks from ever happening again. Giuliani's retributive attitude towards foreign policy is exactly what got us into both Middle Eastern wars. When you pursue interventionist policies overseas for more than 30 years that disrupt the lives of already disadvantaged people, they will get angry. So instead of trying to stifle genuine thoughtfulness within your own party, maybe you should try to focus on moving on.
