Kind of yeah, we absolutely had to take down the USSR at the end of the Cold War and the easiest means for them to do that was to see them bankrupt themselves in Afghanistan. Guess who the Soviets were up against in Afghanistan? It wasn't American soldiers, but we supported the local resistance cells. Now do we want to guess who those were?

No shit dude, I know we helped bin Laden against the Russians. We also helped Saddam against Iran and we've helped a lot of people we view as bad guys now. You never know who your enemy will be tomorrow. But that area of the country has ALWAYS been at war against something. But we didn't make them extremists or fundamentalists. I still don't see how we "declared war" on the Muslim world or where we are "stealing" oil.
