There was an interesting piece on 60 minutes today. They interviewed Charlie Wilson, a Congressman from Texas who was instrumental in getting the government to give the CIA billions of dollars of aid to give to the mujaheddin fighters in Afghanistan. Basically, Wilson doesn't regret helping the mujaheddin repel the Soviet invasion, but regrets not sticking around to help Afghanistan rebuild--a sentiment that has been voiced by many in this forum.
Wilson had this to say about Osama bin Laden: "the idea that he is angry about the US military presence in Saudi Arabia is ludicrous...if it weren't for our military, Saddam Hussein would be smoking his cigars in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina."
