We should have never armed the mujahideen. By doing so we inadvertently created the mess we are in now.

BTW, I was all for arming the mujahideen in the 80's. I was young and ignorant. Now I look at arming the Syrian rebels in the same light as arming the mujahideen.

I agree. It was a different world back in the cold war days but with hindsight it wss a mistake.

I also believe Colin Powell’s “if you break it you must fix it” was a mistake. Don’t arm anyone. Just break things occasionally when they threaten us. It wont be long and we will be able to wipe out an area without a human being on the battlefield. Drones and robots. Scary but that is where this is headed

We should have never befriended Islam but should have treated it the way our medieval European ancestors did.
