Query written by vivekenlight: Did the American government create some of the terrorists that we see today, during the Cold War?

I just saw a hollywood movie called Rambo III. Many afghan mujaheedins who are labelled as “terrorists” today were glorified in that movie. Coming back to real history ,it was about the soviet invasion of afghanistan. According to many the CIA provided full support to these guys. Many people including many muslims claim that America created a lot of “terrorists” that we see today, just to oppose communism. Is that right? What do you think?


That is with regards to Did the American government create some of the terrorists that we see today, during the Cold War? you may be compelled to solve issues their selves. Eventually it will help to in many ways; as well as yourself significantly better. Hoping with regards to Did the American government create some of the terrorists that we see today, during the Cold War? might be simple solution tomorrow.

Answer by rap1361

no we did not create these terrorist. you have heard the phrase politics makes strange bed follows and the idea if you are againtist my enemy then you are my freind. well both of those ideas were in play in the 80′s. we helped both Bin Landen and Iraq (when Iraq was at war with Iran) trying to weaken the powers in control. but it did back fire.


realy until the Koren war we fought people for land and banish power. with veitnam and the wars after we have fought idealoges and that is a harder fight. because they do not care about land or posseions . they care more about getting there ideas out and are willing to go to war and also repopulating a country.which the muslims are doing in Europe. then the can put strangleholds on the government.

The CIA organised, armed and funded extreme Islamic Groups to fight the Soviets in Athganistan in the 80′s. That is fact, which nobody (including the US Government) denies.


Many of the same groups wanted to join the fight against Sadaam when he invaded Kuwait in 1990. They considered that Sadaam (who ran a secualar dictatorship) was an enemy of Muslims because he refused to implement elements of Sharia law. This is ironic when you consider that the US government later tried to justify the invasion of Iraq by claiming that Al Quaeda was working with Sadaam.


The US government refused their help and moved large quantities of US troops to Saudi Arabia for the first time. Since that point one of the stated aims of Al Quaeda has been to remove US troops from Saudi Arabia. It was the reason they gave for the first attack on the WTC in the mid 90′s.


So yes, the US government did help create some of the terrorists we face today. They also funded and armed Sadaam through most of the 80′s. Naughty, naughty Uncle Sam!

You need to learn some history (hint ‘Rambo’ movies are not history).


The Mujaheddin are not the same people as today’s terrorists. The Mujaheddin were Afghans who were fighting the Soviet Union. The Arabs (like OBL) went to Pakistan, paraded around but did not do any real fighting.


A few years after the Soviet Union left Afghanistan – a group called the Taliban came into existence. The Taliban fought the (former) Mujaheddin and seized control of most of the country. The Mujaheddin remained in existence in the north-Eastern part of the country and became known as the Northern Alliance.


OBL came to Afghanistan and was a two-bit nobody until the Egyptians cracked down on their internal terrorists. The survivors fled to Afghanistan, teamed up with OBL and formed Al Quaeda.


After 9/11 it was the heirs of the Mujaheddin (Northern Alliance) who drove the Taliban and Al Quaeda out of Afghanistan.


In the future I suggest that you learn your history form history books instead of movies.
