Iran was not always a theocracy. Neither was Afghanistan. The western world's meddling was a significant driver of their radicalization.

I don't know the path of funding for Irans weapons, too lazy to weed through the misinformation to get an answer. When we went to war with Afghanistan after 911, the weapons they used to fight back were paid for by the US government to help them defend themselves from the Russians.

Government is the problem. A government is attacking another government. Governments killed 100x more people than every other type of murderer combined in the 20th century. Somehow your solution is more government.
