Did you read my post? The comparison I was making was this: When we supported bin Laden and Afghanistan we did not know that the outcome, many years later, would be a massive terrorist attack...whatever the reason for said attack. Therefore how can you support our funding/support of the Northern Alliance? Do we know what they will become many years from now...NO! You are arguing that we 'created' bin Laden, and should share part of the blame, but then turn around and advocate the support of another 'unknown' alliance!
