Reagan’s genius was giving the Afghanis the means to fight their own war, to protect their own land and people.

Oh yeah. How did funding and training mujaheddin work out?

Besides, Reagan continued a Jimmy Carter program.

The biggest f*** up by any CIC in history.

These same mujaheddin have spread throughout the world. Yeah, heap praise on that . Blow back , baby.

I love the quote from Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, concerned about the growing strength of the Islamist movement, told President George H. W. Bush, "You are creating a Frankenstein."

The liberation of Eastern Europe as a result of the end of the Soviet Union is a good thing. Leaving Afghanistan for the Afghanis is not a bad thing. Much as we don't have much use for Islam, Godless Marxism is more expansionist and at least as crushing to the human spirit.

Jimmy Carter put on a show, providing the Afghanis with JUNK. Reagan gave them real weapons to use against our enemies. It wasn't Reagan who decided to go nation-building. We have the Bushes to blame for that.
