Don't concern yourself. Debates about the Middle East always digress to name - calling.

Nor am I...LOL reminds me of a bad joke.

BTW wasn't Bin Laden part of the Mujahedin freedom fighters when the Russians invaded Afghanistan? Didn't the CIA help them out with at the very least intelligence?

Too much master debating will make you go blind.

Some evidence Osama was a CIA Operative read the third to the last paragraph!!. of course read the whole article if you like but they mention Osama as a CIA Spook!.

But what the USA and its allies did after the Mujahideen were able to drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan is simply criminal. They lost interest in Afghanistan and did little to help rebuild the war-ravaged country, which, not unexpectedly, led to a state of warlordism, eventually paving the way for the Taliban to take control in Kabul in 1996. And guess: who came forward with the much needed cash to help Afghanistan? It was the CIA's former operative - Osama, who called Afghanistan his home, after being driven out of Saudi Arabia (1992) and Sudan (1996).

“In the 1980s, the CIA provided some $5 billion in military aid for Islamic fundamentalist rebels fighting the Soviet occupation in Afghanistan, but scaled down operations after Moscow pulled out in 1989. However, Selig Harrison of the DC-based Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars recently told a conference in London that the CIA created the Taliban “monster” by providing some $3 billion for the ultra-fundamentalist militia in their 1994-6 drive to power.”
