Regarding: "...he (ArchbFrancis of Rome) might remind the president that the U.S. once gave weapons to the “freedom fighters” in Afghanistan in the 1980s, because they were fighting the Soviets. Yesterday’s “freedom fighters” are today’s Taliban and now they are fighting us."
- Taliban means 'student', that is, student of the madrasas that taught Wahhabi interpretation of Quaran and Islam. 
- Wahhabi and the House of Saud are linked in terms of history and current funding.
-  So by arming Saudi Arabia President Trump is arming the font of a lot of the terrorism in Asia and the Middle East -- and its spill over into the West.
- President Obama was on the right track in expecting country's like Saudi Arabia to work harder in disabling terrorists and those individuals in their midst who fund the terrorists.
