So yes, given the choice I would mind my own business and let the Afganis/Russians settle their own problems. Might be 3,000 Americans and a couple buildings still around. If Clinton had not been elected in 1992, the WTC towers would still be standing.
America defeated the Red Army in Afghanistan. In large part, that is why over 400 million people are freed from Soviet tyranny today. Our CIA and Reagan should be hailed as heros, not critized.
I know the temptation is great to defend Israel by saying "America did it too!" but what we did is not comparable to what Israel did.
We funded and trained the same Muslim terrorists in Afganistan that later went to Serbia to cause the Balkan War, after that they turned on us. You think thousands of Kosovar/Serbian and American lives were worth it to embaress the Russians in that h3ll hole. I don't agree, the whole country isn't worth 3,000 American lives
