What I find perplexing is people who think that the U.S. is responsible for the creation of Al Qaeda. The dynamics that brought about its creation predate the existence of the U.S. Its as if the history of the world began in 1980, and only events that occurred after 1980 should be considered, and only in the context of a world that never had a Cold War. Leftists have a very bizarre world view when it comes to Al Qaeda.

NOBODY said that the US is responsible for Al Qaeda, heck I've even said that this org was mainly created to battle the Saudi Government cause Bin Laden felt that it was wrong. Al Qaeda would also go into Afghanistan to fight the soviets there, which we were giving "military aid" to at the time. The US is over 200 years old, please break down the history of Al Qaeda for us.
P.S. the US have had it's hand in Middle East affairs for a LOOOOONNNGGGG Time. The CIA was partially reponsible for overthrowning the Democratically elected government in Iran in the mid 50s thus bringing in the brutal Shah of Iran.
