Yes - I agree with you - some Americans have. However, the American
government DID NOT...
I'm sure there are plenty of American, Germans, British, etc. etc. etc.
who have funded terrorists...
However, there is a big difference between private funding of terrorists
and government funding of terrorists (ie. Afghanistan, Syria, Iran,
Libya, etc...) and I don't think you can even infer that the United
States is in *that* category...
