In 1980 the US spent all sorts of money, and got with some religious extremists, to destabilize the Soviet government in Afghanistan. It was to be 'their Vietnam'. By 1990, when the Soviet Union was collapsing, and they left Afghanistan to the Afghans, the US had little time or money for reconstructing Afghanistan. In contrast, one or two of our partners, these of the religious extremist variety _did_ linger in Afghanistan, and, at some point, the militia of their indigenous friends, the Taliban, did take over most of the country. To say that al Qaeda was born of the CIA, is to say nothing new at all. http://www.melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2003/08/53119.php You can't sell tickets to a fight, if there isn't so much as a sparring partner.
