"nothing to sneeze at." >>> Right... but clearly not even in the same league as Iranian and Saudi support for terrorism. "But I base my assertion on Iraq's general posture in the neighborhood, not on funding terrorists alone. He was the biggest threat to the various states in the region." >>> I disagree on that accessment. Iran is the more important military and economic power... and the Saudis have far more money with which they inculcate extremist feelings in 'True Believers' from East Asia to the Atlantic. >>> Iraq was a 'faded power', lead by a dissolute and aged dictator, and bankrupted by years of sanctions and two failed wars... an an avowedly secular state... unlikely to be popular with fundamentalists.
