The USA backed, funded, and put into power Osama bin Laden and his Taliban, using US taxpayer money, to keep Russia out of that country.

I've heard that drivel repeated over and over and I have yet to see it substantiated. How about some proof?

And the CIA suppprting the Mujahdeen is NOT proof.

I couldn't find it quickly enough to post, but the we didn't create Bin Laden by aiding him. We aided him by pulling out of the region after the fall of the Soviet sponsored Afghan government. The Arabs moved into the power vacuum resulting from the Afghan tribes being unable to work together.
