Not to get on your case or anything but couldn't the exact same be said when we funded the warriors of god in afghanastan during the 80's when they were invaded by the Soviet Union? Oh, well i guess the administration at the time didn't realise that the lesser of two evils was not really the lesser of two evils.ATG wrote:

But really the dissolvation of the Soviet Union was not as benificial as the United States and NATO had hoped. In fact the Soviet Union kept our "now" enemies in check. All the soviets had to do was press thier tumb on North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and China to bend them to thier will. If we had kept the Soviets in for longer with a slow transition instead of the eruption and dissolvation that it was then it would have been better not only for the countries in question but also for the United States as well.
