^^^ dudes point was that america did more to train the cats who flew the jets on 911 than the taliban did, and hes completely correct. think of all the resources we poured into afganistan while the mujahadiin were fighting the russians. the taliban didnt have much to givve al queda, which is made up primarily (or it was in the past generation of fighters) of ex-mujahadiin. america is much more responsible for the material suppor of al queda than the taliban ever were. and as far as what we trained them for, we trained them to fight against democratic governments in order to forward the development of an islamiic state. we had ulterior motives (reducing russian influence) but are you so surprised, they would broaden thier sights beyond the borders of afghanistan?
now if you want to equate al queda with the taliban (which can be argued) thats fine, but in that case they're both product of american intervention into things that are NONE OF OUR FUCKING BUISNESS. initially all this did was fuck with afghanis, whcih no one gave a shit about, then when they blew up the towers it fucked americans, whcih we do give a shit about. im not excusing or defending the cats that blow shit up, but we gave them the means to do so knowing their intentions were to fuck up non islamic societies, to be surprised when they do so.
