NATO officials say they have caught Iran red-handed, shipping heavy arms, C4 explosives and advanced roadside bombs to the Taliban for use against NATO forces, in what the officials say is a dramatic escalation of Iran's proxy war against the United States and Great Britain.

And the world sits silent.

you know, all the explosives are for building up their power plants. You need a ton of energy to run Iran I imagine. All the high tech equipment, diligently encouraged by the Iranian government. It has to be for the Taliban's power plants they're building in Afghanistan.

It produces a very small carbon footprint.

Yes, it is wrong.

Yes, it does mirror exactly the actions of the American government in the 1980s.

It does? I thought we helped them fight off an invading country without starting WWIII? But I guess using C4 for blowing up clubs and coffee shops is the same.

not by name, no, but they were radical islamists, and many of them became top taliban members, and Bin Laden himself was among them, but at the time, they were fighting the soviets, and we wanted to mess with the sovieta in any way possible.

not that I support them but Iran is simply protecting its own interests in its sphere of influence. If Iran was occupying Canada and Mexico would the US be wrong to supply Mexican and Canadian patriots with arms?

We would take the Proxy out of proxy war. It doesn't have to be a neighbor in fact. Kuwait would work.

I do. But Iran is intentionally stirring up trouble. You can take the whole America/Iraq equation out of the middle east and still see what they are doing in the region as suspect. Lebanon in particular.
