Its a Fairy Tale

Reader comment on item: [The RAND Corporation and] Fixing Islam
in response to reader comment: Fixing Islam -- You can't get there from here

Submitted by Shahid Saeed Khan (Pakistan), Jul 16, 2007 at 04:26

The west had used Usama Bin Laden and Taliban as the tool to crush Soviet Union (Russia), and thought that they'll crush them too after Russia. But now it has become a dilemma.

This has been the policy of the west to use and throw in the dust bin, and to declare someone any time that he is a terrorist man/country or other. When Russia was there, and the cold war was on its peak, then Osama Bin Laden was declared Friend!!!

So please look at the double policy instead of presenting rhetoric stories.
