Klassen - Don't you realize that the Taliban, the ulta-orthodox Islamics, who now hate the US are the same ones that the Carter and Reagan administrations gave guns, food, and aid to when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979. It was also reported that bin Laden was the recepient of some of that aid. They were called "freedom fighters" or mujahideen at that time.

It was the USA's position at that time that the Soviets were wrong in invading Afghanistan - and now the USA has about 100,000 soldiers there.

What isn't right with this picture?
