Keep in mind that you utter this fully cognizant of the fact that Iran is becoming a nuclear power with the help if Russia, which threatens us all. But by definition, there are no pro-western Islamist forces. One of the accusations made by the late Alexander Litvinenko, by the way, was that he was aware of Al-Qaeda's number two being trained at a Russian FSB-military camp. Middle Eastern terrorism itself, by the way, is largely a KGB trained and funded entity, and Putin is part of that same KGB structure.
Nonsense. And here we see your continued reliance on any hammer to beat your point with: Litvinenko was a neo-communist. Middle Eastern terrorism was developed by the IRA, based on an ideology developed by Hitler.
The US invaded Eastern Europe and handed land sacred to Russia, Kosovo, to bin Laden and his pals. Yes, that’s right: bin Laden wasn’t in Afghanistan in the 90s, he was fighting with Clinton in the former Yugoslavia. Then the Clinton administration created a power vaccuum in Afghanistan which only then bin Laden filled. Our “ally” in Egypt imported every terrorist in the Middle East to his “prisons” which he ran like Terrorism University, until he became too independent-minded for Obama and opposed the Muslim brotherhood.
We didn’t have Qadaffi killed when he was a terrorist; we killed him when he ceased being one.
