...and in so doing WON the Cold War. No one can deny that the prolonged engagement in Afghanistan was at least one of the top three reasons the Soviet Union fell when it did. Sure, looking back with 20/20 vision it was a mistake to arm these guys(terrorists); but we were at that time fighting a different enemy(one with at least 8 ICBMs aimed right at Spokane) and they were helping us win that War.


Regarding Cheneys comments: He mentioned Seven mistakes only one was durring Reagan(and it was a mistake; we never should have cut and run) but in Reagans defense the Global dynamics were different then with a Soviet Union always willing to back any and all of our enemies.
