Honestly thought it would be Saudi Arabia, where most of the major terrorists have come out of. Or Pakistan, who willingly hid those Saudi Arabian terrorists under military protection.

But for some reason why don't seem to want to fight those two countries, only the ones that haven't done anything wrong.

Do you think predator drones and hellfire missiles aren't terrorizing?

Well, we mean *besides* the US which, among other things, had been supporting terrorist groups (which it calls "moderate rebels") in Syria. That particular program, which started under Obama, was canceled by Trump. Conversely, Iran supports the scary guys. We just support terrorists until they become scary guys.

This isn't related to terrorism, but the Middle-East in general and what may have been. I found it interesting.

The Sykes-Picot agreement and Treat of Versailles are where most of the blame falls for modern terrorism. Between Britain betraying the Arabs, France helping them immensely with it, constant western intervention after the fact, and former Nazis (who only rose to power because of an unfair peace for Germany) escaping to the region then training extremists with Skorzeny's werwolf doctrine, it's squarely the Entente's fault. They should've been more magnanimous upon winning WWI. Their failure to do so ruined Earth, more or less, and doomed their own empires. Fucking biggest fail from a win ever, guys...

That's what the people who don't like Iran say. They may be right. They may not. The issue is that people who fund terrorism don't do so openly. We know that Iran does it to some degree. Saudi Arabia too. And many others. But actually trying to determine who leads in that funding? That's not gonna happen.

We have information that lets us make educated guesses. But anything more specific than "Iran and Saudi Arabia are significant state sponsors of terrorism" is just someone pushing an agenda.

The people are fine. The government is illegitimate though, and hijacked the revolution.

Maybe some of them are. But I'm sure there are plenty of them who enjoy crucifying Christians, raping women, and throwing gays off of rooftops.

One of the annoying limitations of the internet is how you can't convey emotion well through text. I apologize for it, since it was completely unclear what I meant, which is obvious to me now that I went back and read it again.

It should sound like "That's what the people who specifically want to go after Iran think." Whereas people who claim that another state is the top are folks who would prefer going after that other state.

If a chemical weapon assault took place in a small town in Syria, nobody would be able to enter it for a week. There were reporters at "ground zero" of the supposed attack in less than 12 hours.

Yeah I'm kind of in the camp of just because we say it happened doesn't mean it's true. Not that the attack didn't happen but who did it specifically

I guess letting ISIS take over a country and killing and raping is a better solution.

Depends on where the religious lines fall. Iran sponsors Shia fighters, Saudi Arabia sponsors Wahhabism. America arms them all, and Israel directs the policy.

Then you end up with shit like this.

How is it you think anyone is accidentally funding terrorism?


Accident might not be the best word, but take things like the funding of Afghanistan rebels during the cold war now having stockpiles of weapons to use for terrorism now.
