Michel Chossudovsky discloses that Carter's National Security Adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, confirms that it was the US and not the Soviet Union that triggered the Soviet- Afghan war:

"According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise. Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention." (Interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, Le Nouvel Observateur, 15-21 November 1998)

When asked if he regrets having supported Islamic fundamentalism and giving arms and advice to terrorists, Brzezinski responds: "What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war? "

Well, only history will tell, Mr. Brzezinski.
