The fact that you just rattled off a list of terror states like it was nothing is so damn funny to me

You know that there are regular people living in these terror states that have to suffer not only their terror states but the US? It's not that I feel pity of the terror states, but of the regular people. It's a very easy distinction that for some reason (racism?) people is troubled to make.

It's obviously not the answer for the question asked.
