Ray - normally I don't agree with your take on the world, but I have to say that the BBC piece raises some interesting flags. I'm presently reading "Unholy Wars: Afghanistan, America and International Terrorism" by John K. Cooley (vol. 2, published before 9/11 - I'll read vol. 3 next). It is an eye-opener! Did you know the Americans had Cold War listening posts in China after the fall of the Shah in Iran? Anyways, it's pretty clear that starting with Carter and possibly before, American, Egyptian, Saudi, Pakistani and Chinese interests coincided over the increasing Soviet influence and then take-over of Afghanistan. What "deals with the devil" were done we may never know, but they continue to resonate today and to think that this has nothing to do with 9/11 is naive, to say the least. Hugh A.
