The US was the main reason for those “terrorists” existing. We are the ones who funded and armed the mujahideen in the 80s.

- anon291 3y agoYes. We funded the mujahideen while their countries were being invaded by the USSR. Would your solution be to let Russia colonize other countries at their leisure? Once again, taking money to defend your country and then, when you're done, coming to wreak havoc in the US is going to lead to war... duh Next time be grateful that Uncle Sam helped you keep your God-forsaken land
- enterprise_cog 3y agoYes, it would actually. I’d take socialism over religious extremism. I mean, look at how they responded, as you said. But I don’t blame them, it makes perfect sense why they did that. I blame the US officials who thought it was a good idea to back up those mujahideen. The US officials who sabotaged peace talks to keep the war going. The anti communist ideologues who damaged this country in ways we are still seeing play out today. And let’s not skirt the fact that the US was in it to secure natural resource rights. We weren’t saving their country as much as saving our access to it. The mujahideen knew this as well, so not sure why they’d be grateful.
