The Sponsoring of Terrorism

Terrorist groups often receive help from outside players in the form of money, arms, and training. These kind of small proxy wars where a good alternative from total war, for the USA and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Each side not wanting to confront each other directly found smaller states and organizations to oppose the differing governing system. The result was small conflicts all over the world that fought either in the name of capitalism or communism. This is how the CIA came to help Ban Laden, in order to push for a Russian humiliation and defeat in Afghanistan. The Soviets did the same when they helped the Fidel Castro and Che Guevara fight off American interests in South America.
The same proxy wars and founding of terrorists can be seen with clarity in the Middle East today, where Israel's adversaries have come to realize that confronting Israel in conventional war is much less effective then sponsoring terrorism. This is what the Syrian regime bargains with when negotiating for the return of the Golan Heights. They promise to stop aiding Hezbollah for the return of land concurred during the Yom Kippur War. Iran on the other hand funds Hezbollah in order to spread its Ideology and set the Middle East in turmoil by pushing Hezbollah to attack Israel. This acts as a deterrent especially when the US is threatening to bomb Iran’s nuclear program.
