as you may recall, back in the 1980s we funneled sophisticated arms—such as rpg launchers—thru pakistan to mujahidin in afghanistan, including osama bin laden.
those weapons became prototypes for copies manufactured in a number of places around the world today.
in 1990-91, preparing to fight saddam hussein, we put a lot of troops in saudi arabia. that convinced bin laden we were his main enemy.
then came blowback.
