while i agree with what you said in your whole reply. i think we're getting away from the point here. Supporting the taliban and i suppose according to some, Al Qaeda themselves, would be less important than fighting communism. What i mean to say is, with hindsight ofcourse, that supporting Sadam or Osama is incredibly stupid. This is the worst case possible for "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". I mean hello! I'm sure America weren't under some illusion that osoma was going to thank them forever for what they did for him during the Afgani-Russian conflict. |
Meh, just brush aside my earlier comments - I did derail the point of this thread pretty badly. Sorry.
