Whomever makes this claim, ie: "We made Osama and other Muslim terrorists", whether from the Left or the Right is wrongheaded and has no sense of history or human nature.

Too right. The US supported the mujahidin via the Pakistani intelligence service. The Taliban emerged after the Soviets left Afghanistan. I repeat, the Taliban emerged after the Soviets withdrew.

The blame America crowd continues to suggest that we gave money and arms directly to Mullah Omar and Bin Laden which is a distortion of history.

They were still funded by the Paki ISI who brainwashed the CIA to fund the Talibs saying that the Talibs would bring order -- which,they did..... but of a particularly virulent kind.
