- agorabinary 11y agoThe single best way to reduce terrorism, civil strife, and violence in general is greater prosperity. Keeping people poor, ignorant and frustrated is a guarantee of future terrorism.
- TheGuyWhoCodes 11y agoIf only that new found prosperity wouldn't be used directly for terrorism I would agree with you. Lack of prosperity and poor education, didn't contribute to the sanctions been put on Iran but of direct action by the government. Lifting them will not help Iran become western democracy or less fanatic it's left wing bullshit.
- amalag 11y agoIran is state sponsor of terrorism but probably less than Pakistan whom the US government funds a lot more. The Taliban is sheltered and supported in Pakistan. Iran would be a far better strategic ally. Their Israel obsession can be cured, it is not pathological. The Iran population is probably a lot more favorable to the US than Pakistan. Iranians are actually a lot more secular, the government is a lot more fanatic than the average person. That is not true in other countries. The US needs to help shape Iran's future. An adversial relationship is not the best for that.
- TheGuyWhoCodes 11y agoHaha, I have been down voted to oblivion... I guess that what you get for not using a throwaway... This is only good for big corporations going to cash in on a new land of fresh business opportunities, pure greed.
