So you put Iran and Israel in the exact same category when it comes to terrorism and the concept of state sponsored terrorism? And how would that not be described in the exact same terms as “spoon fed” as well? Just out of curiosity. What makes one spoon fed, but the other not?

I was mistaken. Someone else replied and used the animal comment. The point I was implying is that Jihadists/radicals do not equal the whole populace of Iran and that any revolution there short of a military coup would be untenable.

I noticed you glossed right over that 9/11 comment. Why is that?

Question - why can't you contribute something of substance? If you are ignorant, just say so. It will save everyone some time.

Israel has organized and funded terrorism that has attacked america? That's interesting. Do you have substantiation for that claim?

Does Israel sponsor terrorism just for funsies or in response to something else? What's their motive?

This thread has got to be some kind of PB record - 25 pages of pearl clutchers avoiding facts like the plague

FACT - Iran is a sponsor of terrorism
FACT - Islamic terrorists want to destroy America and have attacked us on our soil
FACT - Islamic terrorists potentially having access to a nuclear weapon or three is beyond horrifying and cannot be allowed
FACT - NONE of the above points have anything to do with Israel

Therein lies the discussion…the solution to that problem. The complexity of it is why only certain parts of it are dealt with it at any different times in my opinion.

Any problems that the US faces that aligns with the interests of Israel will be dealt with bilaterally as allies. Outside of that scope is where the discussion changes. All of their interests do not align with ours nor should the US be expected to act as they were.

Well said. In regards to Islamic terrorism, our interests align with Israel. I absolutely know that Israel is not perfect and our best interests are not their top priority. However, in regards to terrorism, that is irrelevant.

It's just sad that there are so many knuckleheads in this country that think the bombing was becase Israel is leading us around by the nose. Nevermind that Trump actively lobbied for Israel to push the brakes on their attacks

mUh zIoNiSm!!

And then there are people like Roaad who say that terrorists "aren't that much of a threat" to us. Yeah let's bury our head in the sand regarding the people who spend every waking hour scheming to torture and kill people while their handlers are ever so close to having a nuclear freaking bomb

Can't believe anyone actually thinks this. If anything we're just increasing the likelihood of a terrorist attack as retaliation.

Unbelievable. The OP states precisely how to not be naive and then people continue to respond with naive takes.

And then stupid takes are posted on page 25 after having been rebutted multiple times.

THEY ALREADY HATED US BEFORE. Our attack is merely an attempt to set them back from an even worse attack on us

It's like these people think the sand jockeys were just minding their own business for a few hundred years and then big ole evil america woke them from their slumber and NOW they're mad as hornets.

If you're ignorant about Islamic terrorism, why would you post something stupid about it. Just get educated or sit this one out

Wonder if OP was ok with just the bombing and then moving on? Wanted full on war and regime change. Was President Trump being naive?

In my wildest dreams I would never put Isreal and Iran in the same category of terrorism. But to each his own, we’ll just agree to disagree, no big deal.
