That's right. They should appreciate us. The Soviet Union was intent on absorbing their neighbors, and they had zero tolerance for Islamic extremism. Afghanistan, home of Al Qaida, would still be Soviet territory were it not for our military aid to the mujahedeen.

If it wasn't for the U.S., Afghanistan and many of the people who make up Al Qaida would be licking Soviet boot.

Actually, she's wrong. Most of the people who make up al Qaeda would still be sitting in Saudi Arabia.
