However, talk is cheap. While sponsors of Islamic terror groups like the Iranian government seem to escape censure or condemnation, nothing much will be done to combat this growing phenomenon. When was the last time a U.N. resolution was raised to discuss the support and encouragement of terrorism by countries like Iran, Syria, China et al. Until this issue is explored and reported in much greater detail, and countries sanctioned who give succor to terrorists are truly condemned, nothing will change. As we have sadly learned from history, rhetoric and meaningless platitudes are not enough.
