Not just "rigthies" Mark...at that time the Soviets had invaded Afghanistan.
The U.S. was arming and financing the Taliban and even Osama Bin Laden to fight against them.
And of course...when WE invade them we are the good guys and they are the bad guys.
When Russia invaded them...THEY were the bad guys and the Taliban were "freedom fighters"
Reality is...both the Soviets AND the U.S. had no business invading another country. And even though we condemn what the Taliban did to women and children...they were and ARE "freedom fighters" for their country.
We (and the Soviets before us) are the bad guys. We invaded their country. They are fighting us for their freedom from us.
And by the way...it was a DEMOCRAT who was the main guy behind the whole thing happening.
His name was Charlie Wilson a Democrat Congressman from Texas.
