To be fair, it is the only time in US history where arming the rebels actually resulted in an (initial) outcome that the U.S. actually sought.

We armed the Northern Alliance which was still a pro-western force in Northern Afghanistan on 9/11. It's telling, though, that you blame the US for the state of Afghanistan rather than the Soviets. :roll:
