it was a blunder? i thought afganistan beating russia helped us win the cold war? i would think the blunder was in us thinking just because once upon a time we helped afganistan that they would always be on 'our side'-they were on their own side, just like we are. don't forget, once upon a time, iran was an ally, before the ayatollah. and then iraq was our 'ally'. for too long, our foreign policy was based on 'the enemy of our enemy is our friend'. wrong.
