No. Zbigniew Brzezinski said in a French magazine interview that they purposely baited the Soviets into invading Afghanistan to give them their own Vietnam.
In the late 90s, Zbigniew said that it was worth Al Qaeda’s rise by saying something like it was better to end the Soviet Union than to have a few pissed off Muslim terrorists.
Of course, Zbigniew’s partner David Rockefeller was accused of propping up Carter as the Trilateral’s candidate. There’s derisive articles about it in the NY Times.
