        I mean, isn’t this like people predicting the year 2000 from the year 1920 and people in 2020 making fun of that being wrong? In neither situation could the future be predicted.

          Him and his Mujahideen were awful religious zealots back then too. That was just ignored due to the “enemy of my enemy is my friend and thus a hero” principle that the US have consistently applied to some of the biggest monsters in history.
