Timothy McVeigh was an American. Does that make the USA a terrorist state?

And we didn't need Israel to send their Air Force to deal with his racist group either.

There wouldn't have been a war in Afghanistan had the Taliban IMMEDIATELY taken the necessary steps to confront and detain those Al Qai'da forces within their borders.

For that matter, there wouldn't be the current violence between Israel and Lebanon, had the Lebanese government implemented UNSC resolution 1559:

Israel pulled its troops out of Lebanon in 2000. Syria was forced to do so only last year.

But Hizbullah has not disarmed and disbanded it's militias. Instead, they have become a force until themselves, just like the PLO was back in the '80s, challenging the Lebanese government for control of the country and refusing to submit to the legitimate government of that country.

Saudi Arabia clearly grows terrorists.

Do we invade Saudi Arabia?

It's a tempting thought... And if they don't reform their government, confront the militant clerics in their midst that are recruiting young Saudis to become terrorists, they just might find themselves on the "list".

As it currently stands, at least they are paying "lip service" to confronting the militants in their midst. They are similar to Pakistan in this regard, where their governmental hold on power is tenuous, at best.
