Dean,

Exactly right. Who supported and harboured Bin Laden against the Russian Red Army? And who continued to support the Talibans for a full year after they took power? The USA, I'm afraid. If you feed rats, you have to expect to get bitten from time to time.

This gripe aside, my fullest sympathy to all in the US. Like the vast majority of Muslims, you are not responsible for the meddling of the people at the top
