Hell, there are truthers, that are convinced 9/11 was an inside job. After All we put bin Laden and the Sheik in a box, trying to contain them.
Funded the Mujahadeen, funded the Iraqis, funded the Kurds, funded most everyone trying to kill us today.
I UNDERSTAND the funding part, but you can see why so many Americans.........non thinking, unintelligent Americans jump to wild ass conclusions.
I do remember a time though, when America carried the biggest stick and no one DARED eff with us. Those were Reagan Days. We have not "acted" like we carry the biggest stick, and we have not projected that we carry the biggest stick........that started with Clinton and continues today.
To be completely honest, I believe the last politician that tried, and partially succeeded in that projection was Trump, IMHO.
Reagan did nothing but trade arms for hostages which was illegal as hell.
