>>um, Allen, maybe Carter could have thought of providing the Stinger shoulder-fired anti-helicopeter rockets to the Majhahadeen, like the Reagan Admin decided to do. This changed the course of the war. Prior to this, the Ruskies were winning handily.<<

Victor -

In case you haven't been paying attention, arming and training the Mujahadeen, including Osama Bin Laden, really didn't work out for us in the long run. It worked out almost as badly as our alliance with Saddam Hussein did.

Maybe it's not such a good idea to rely solely on military power in dealing with the rest of the world.
