BTW we sent aid BEFORE we were at war.

Not to the Soviets. We only did lend-lease with the UK prior to our entrance to the war. Lend-lease was extended to the Soviets on June 11th, 1942, which I hope you realize is after we entered the war.

It's very possible that some power we are enlisting to help us with al Queda will come back to bite us in the future.

By "some power" I hope you mean the Saudis, because it will no doubt come back to bite us in the future.

I would think Pakistan in collusion with either China or North Korea would be the future problem. The Paks have a history of renegade cooperation with both. Some kind of move by the Paks while China makes its move on Taiwan in '08 is my guess. BTW my apologies it was the Brits who sent aid immediately after 22 June '41, and some of their aid was in the form of U.S lend lease, most particularly P39 aircraft for which the Brits had no use, but which could be used, as America discovered in the Solomons, as excellent ground support aircraft.
