Not only did Reagan back the Mujihadeen, who in effect became the Taliban, the now US ally, the Northern Alliance, were the then Soviet ally.
Now matter how you slice it and dice it, it's a clear example of the foolishness of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Of course, Uncle Joe should have taught that lesson.
But for the curious, the Mujihadeen weren't renowned human rights supporters either.
Bottom line, supporting evil is supporting evil. Supporting terrorism is supporting terrorism. All people seem to be doing is trying to defend these acts, when Bush is making such clear moral distinctions about evildoers, and continuing to support chosen dictators.
It's all horsedoodoo. Forget nuance, forget the absurd moral clarity of Bush. Stop suuporting evil, stop supporting tyrany, then the US might have a moral leg to stand on. |
