No the point was pretty clear, what was missed was the mirth in my post. Still from everything I've seen I would definitely say that the USA is a state sponsor of terrorism in the same vein as Cuba, North Korea & Iran, which are all called as such by our own government. If you can find a legitimate reason for any of those countries to be labelled as such that wasn't directly a result of our own decision to back a dog in a fight that wasn't ours I'll publicly retract.
