Interesting. So we are going to go after a country that supports some terrorist groups that then give some of their proceeds and funds to an umbrealla group that attacked us. Wow- do I have to mention some of the groups that we have given money to that committed dastedly deeds with our money? Fact of the matter is you are playing with fire. And Iran is not the worst offender. Why is it that you indict Iran with this second hand contact and yet with Suadi Arabia and the ties they have directly to Al Queda that are so much more clear (and Sudan and syria and Kuwait and Bahrain) you are silent? What a joke. Oh well- I guess Iran is in the mind of the average 4 year old numbskull in this country and it makes that much more clear- that and it is more convenient to Isreal.

Let me spell this out. Islamic Jihad is Al Qaeda!

If we funded a terrorist group, the aggreived country would have ample cause to make war on us, as we would have already done so by proxy.

And Iran is not the worst offender. Why is it that you indict Iran with this second hand contact and yet with Suadi Arabia and the ties they have directly to Al Queda that are so much more clear (and Sudan and syria and Kuwait and Bahrain) you are silent?

If you find evidence that the Saudi regime funded Bin Laden, I will change my mind. No such evidence has come forth for the simple reason that Bin Laden is a threat to the reigme. You don't seem to understand that the Saudi Clan is the regime.
Neither the Kuwaiti nor the Bahraini government have funded Al Qaeda.

You either cannot see the difference between the actions of subjects and a regime, or you are being purposely obtuse.

As for Syria and Sudan, both should be on the list. Syria is as guilty as Iran. Sudan has helped bin Laden in the past and is still helping terrorists. Besides, it is a gencodial Islamist regime.

What a joke. Oh well- I guess Iran is in the mind of the average 4 year old numbskull in this country and it makes that much more clear- that and it is more convenient to Isreal.

I think that having a regime change in Syria would be more beneficial to Israel than that in Iran.

Of course, since when does logic interfere with anti-Semetism.
Your screen name does a disservice to Edmund Burke.
