Some years back my wife and I were checking in for for fuel and to clear customs in San Fillipe after flying in from the U.S..We were the only ones there at first until a Cessna 210 flew in for fuel. Four rather tough looking Mexicans got out and jumped in in front of us to pay. I was mildly irritated and started to say so something to the Mexican customs guy and he quietly said "be careful,bad people",while the short stocky member with a mustache stared bullets through my wife. He spooked her pretty good and made a lasting impression on her.A few weeks later we were watching the news on TV and there was none other than El Chapo, who we had never heard of before, being arrested for the first time.We immediately recognized the unmistakable character we had encountered in San Fillipe. You meet some interesting folks in Baja.

If you want to stop drugs, stop supporting them.

Same with terrorism.

If you want to stop terrorism, stop supporting it.

The U.S. is the #1 instigator of terrorism throughout the world.



You want to explain that one to me, Cisco---------just how are we "terrorizing" the world???




There are bunches of references Barry relating to the specific instances in different country's. We have boots on the ground and 'assets' in 168 countries at this time.

This one is pretty comprehensive and you can branch out from there.

Here's another example by a pretty credible source.

BREEDING TERRORISTS

Sorry Cisco, I just don't buy that argument as a serious problem. All Nations have radicals that see boogy-men, and you can call them "terrorists" if you choose to, and make your own interpretations. We have our own right here in the USA (Malhuer Wildlife Area, the Bundy Ranch episode, Sagebrush Rebellion, etc.). They will always be with us here, and around the world. Yes, it is wise to be aware of them, both inside and outside the Govt., and in this world, but I am not going to be staying up at night worrying about them, at least not yet. But I agree that it is worth keeping our eyes open--------and being aware. That is what Law Enforcement does, to the best of their ability, and we do an exceptional job at it in this Country, IMO.

The stuff you link is always interesting, to say the least, but I think over-the-top conjecture in most cases.
