Under Reagan, U.S. support for the mujahideen evolved into an official U.S. foreign policy, known as the Reagan Doctrine, which included U.S. support for anti-Soviet movements in Afghanistan, Angola, Nicaragua, and elsewhere. [20] Ronald Reagan praised mujahideen as "freedom fighters".
first, what do you think about this? |
I really don't know enough about these to have an opinion. What does it have to do with whats going on today? What I do know is that we are at war with Al Qaeda and why the f*ck would we even think of providing them arms. Now we hear that the CIA is on the ground and this has been leaked to the press probably increasing their risk. So much for the no boots on the ground lie,
