More so of a strategy to get someone else to fight your war for you. The Taliban has never been an ally to the United States, it was simply used to combat soviet infleunce so the United States did not have to. The fact of the matter is, these countries, factions and groups looked like viable options at the time for whatever reasons, but to sit here and insinuate there is still some sort of conspiracy is just ridiculous. Allys can be allys one minute and emenys the next.

i'd accept this argument as relevant if western nations hadn't been caught red-handed using al-CIA-da to stir up the bosnian conflict, to assassinate quaddafi, and maintain high-level contacts and support with sick regimes like the taliban, all after the cold war ended.
iran was anti-soviet under mossadeq and he was overthrown over oil interests. cia.gov, operation ajax. plenty of bragging aboot it, kermit roosevelt, grandson of teddy, near the end of his life was in national papers talking up his part in the operation.
empires need enemies, imperialists need conflicts, the masses need bogeymen.

the insult wasn't that HUGE a deal but it was in your first post response, just pointing it out - if you want to debate that's great but the tone of my response is ALWAYS metered by the tone of the challenger.
