Because the Muslims were involved in Afghanistan. Did you missed that?
Afghanistan is a Muslim country, therefore other Muslim countries felt they had a moral compulsion to get involved. You do not like it? Go yell at them. But since history have them as active participants, they cannot be dismissed out of the discussion. You are being intellectually dishonest about this.
Fact is...US funding is 1/4 of the equation. The others are funding from the Muslim countries, the manpower from the Muslim countries, and the spiritual leadership from the other Muslim countries. You cannot dismiss these.
Is the burden equally on the Muslims as well? But never mind that rhetorical question. You proved you are willing to be intellectually dishonest about this discussion so the answer to that rhetorical question is: No. The Muslims have nothing to do with post Soviet Afghanistan. I just saved you a lot of mental gymnastics.
What is wrong with the other Muslim countries helping Afghanistan? As far as democracy goes, the Afghans were not ready for it even back then. The democracy argument is a canard. Any first year Political Science student would laugh at your argument.
Fine...The how much oil did the US took from Afghanistan? And please do not bore me with loony conspiracy theories involving Unocal. That was debunked a long time ago.
False does not mean lie. And the technical intelligence we, meaning the alliance that includes the Muslims, received were shared by all. Am willing to bet you did not do one hour of unbiased research on this subject so I will give you a clue: The UN nuclear program inspection and enforcement program. See if you can find the relevant
TECHNICAL literature and understand what the UN considers to be important.
You have to. The Muslims had even greater presence and participation in Soviet occupied Afghanistan than US.
So did the Saudis. Robin Cook have no credible evidences that we knew Osama bin Laden at a personal level. At best, we would have heard of him simply because he was a wealthy Saudi. This is as loony as how Saddam Hussein was trained by US.
Am wondering why 20th century Muslims from oil rich countries did nothing for Afghanistan. Can you explain why not?
