We (collectively, the U.S. public) complain about Iran “helping” the Iraqi dissidents while conveniently forgetting that we gave a great deal of aid and arms to the Taliban to use against the Russians. This is more of the same: bitching about what the Turks did 90 years ago while forgetting what we did to the American Indians 150 years ago. “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”

Congratulations - your little rant has to be one of the most incoherent I have read here on FR. First of all the Taliban as such was not in power at the time of the Russian conflict (yes many moved into the ranks of the Taliban later)

The Dems brought this resolution up so they are the ones "bitching" with the intent to cut off supplies to our troops, not right some past wrong. And as another Freeper stated, the "American Indians" were far from blameless in a time in the world where populations were still being conquered all over the world.

When it comes to screen names yours really is truth in advertising.
