Well, I checked my dates and you are partially correct. My errors were:1. The soviets had already invaded Afghanistan, but still did so due to the growing instability in the region due to US meddling. 2. We had been backing Saddam Hussein since the February 63 coup against Qasim.

The point is, that any way you want to spin it the problems in that region have been exascerbated dramatically by bungled US covert operations. As I said, even when they bungle things the arms dealers and corporate entities make out well.

Hopefully someday those of you who believe there is some right versus wrong or good versus evil scenario playing out with “god” watching from on high will become conscious enough to see the truth of human existence.
