There hasn't been near enough said in the this country about the two nations we fight our endless wars with today, and how they got where they are. The main reason for the silence is because it was the Reagan administration that helped arm, fund and provided intelligence to both Iraq and Afghanistan. Bringing that up only opens me up for being called anti-American or having my patriotism questioned by some tough guy who thinks Rush Limbaugh is smart. I bring it up only hesitantly for that reason. But, there is also the situation in Pakistan that is largely responsible for world instability and just so happens to be neighbors to the American occupied country of Afghanistan. It just so happens, too, that while Reagan was busy supplying Saddam with WMD and arming the mujaheddin in Afghanistan, he was also giving the thumbs up to the Pakistani's and their atomic bomb.
Now I'm certain, in a very Serious and Freedom Fighting Republican sort of way, that none of that has anything to do with what's happening today. Reagan had to do what any tough guy Republican had to do. But could you imagine if Bill Clinton had given one penny to Saddam Hussein or if Clinton had given one bullet to the Afghan rebels, what kind of crazy conspiracy debate this country would be engulfed in right now. I mean my goodness we might even be talking about ceasing our wars for the simple sake of we started them.
