we are ------------ America trained the radicals in Afghanistan - then, they created a very obvious vacuum for them to fill - which it was obvious that they would
America is the creator of Taliban and that led to ISIS
it's not rocket science --
Gust Avrakotos warned Wilson about it - Wilson took it on board and couldn't get funding - even though he raised enough bucks and support to give the Afghans the first time in history victory for driving the Russians out of occupation
should we have had Charlie Wilsons war????????
well, maybe ----------- but, I argue that if we hadn't had McCarty - then, Russia may well have not been in Afghanistan in the first place
it all boils back to 1945/6 when America decided to count Russia as an enemy - then, in 1950 when the great America decided to 'contain' china.
On the way through - they had many opportunities to make things better -
they even managed to completely cock up Khrushchev's visit to America
if America had stayed home post WW2 - the world would be a far less dirty place
they did do a good thing in the breaking of the siege of Berlin - on that - I agree
