Once again, you fail to process what I have given you.

First, I have not posted any left-winged source.

Second, the leading researcher in field said:

Quote:
The whole thing is incredibly overblown. If a foreign country invaded Mexico, American weapons would start turning up in Mexico. There may even be senior American officials who are providing weapons to prevent that country from invading us. The Iranians may be doing the same thing. At a maximum, what the Iranian government is doing is arming people they see as their allies to prevent Sunni insurgents from launching attacks on them. Or from a radical Sunni state emerging inside Iraq. They see it as an act of self-defense.
Lets put this to a situation we can relate too. Lets say the Soviet Union was still strong and they invaded Mexico. Do you really think American weapons would not be in Mexico? Iran see both Sunnis and Americans as threats just as you see both Stalinism and Soviets as threats. The Sunnis are getting backed from Saudi Arabia and the Shiites are getting back (at lot less backing mind you) by Iran and yet we focus all the attention on Iran. Can you not see that double standard?
