Anybody think it's funny that we gave Al Queda/Afghanistanian rebels weapons 30 years ago to keep the Russians/Soviets out, now Russia is giving the Al Queda/Afghanistanian rebels(or "terrorist") weapons to keep us out? I think it's hilarious.
Lies! Lies and blasphemy! The United States is and always has been a benevolent country that would never adversely interfere in the politics of another country.
/sarcasm.
We've done it all over the world, in fact, from South America to Africa to the Middle East, and there are a lot more brutal people that we've put in a position of power than Osama Bin Laden. More often than not, this tends to come back to bite us in the ass and we tend to end up doing the same thigns to the people we put in power as the ones we outed by doing so, and yet it seems we still haven't learned anything. One of our latest ploys is to support certain candidates in elections to manipulate the results. We've become so unpopular, though, that instead of supporting the candidate we want to win we support the one we want to lose and it turns out to be a political death sentence. Kinda hypocritical when you consider that we say our mission is to spread democracy.
And then they left Pakistan (According to Hilary Clinton) to deal with all the problems USA had left behind. So basically, when USA needed Pakistan it was friendly and as soon as its objective was met, it stranded Pakistan and even imposed sanctions.They funded the taliban, because at the time, they were both fighting the russians

I guess if North Korea turned on Russia they'd be sporting American Nukes in No time.

OMG but we fought against them during the Cold War!!! Yeah...countries/groups don't stay the stagnant as time progresses. We also fought the British in the 1770's...OMG guys we fought them and now they're are ally!!! WTF!?!?!

Leaving your ally midway, imposing sanctions on it and letting it suffer because what you have done is simply back stabbing.Umm, that's....awesome? I don't know what else to say, I thought this was already fairly well-known.
Unfortunately the US has a habit of funding the wrong people...then again I don't like politicians for many reasons this is one.
Also, I'm not defending the US, but people need to realize that this is pretty much common place in today's world. Nation's are more than willing to overstep "moral" boundaries in order to secure their national interests. jointedI think that happened in the past as well....
