Roots of the War on Terror in the Reagan Regime
Since the 1950s, the US has alternately supported and decried ruthless Arab dictators, propping them up, only to incite revolutions against them in the following years. Gaddafi of Libya has been both our darling and a dreaded villain. We sent arms (incl nerve gas) to Saddam Hussein when he was fighting Iran. We sent guns and $ to the Taliban in Afghanistan. We gave more military aid to Mubarak than anyone else in the world.
