Yet an another anti-US Stand now , Come on man , the suituation in the 1980s , US needed an reason to fight the USSR , the jihads needed the ammunition to fight them . The idea is ,it was a business deal which suited both the parties After the fall of USSR , US never needed them , thus the business deal fell through . The so called jihads instead of moving on & try leaving a normal life went cockoo-bananas with their own ideologies . Why in the world are you blaming the US for some loonies who did not have any purpose in their life is beyond me ? For the record I am not pro-US , but I cannot find any reasoning in your theory at all
