The Afghan's did the dirty work in bringing down the USSR, with our promises and munitions. We nurtured the fundamentalism what was there to encourage Afghan soldiers we trained to fight against the Soviets. Gave them munitions, made promises and all was forgotten\swept under the rug until it blew back on us in 2001.
We gave them inspiration and they used what we fostered against us later. SP is right. What has come after 9\11 is us killing the children and family members (who were educated in madras rather than in the schools we promised) of soldiers who we trained in the 80s. Terrorism existed before Bush\Cheney. But, it festered and and has thrived with their wars.
