LMFAO. I never said they helped him become EVIL. They brought him to power. He started killing people. The U.S. didn't care because he was helping us meet other goals. When he nationalized the Iraqi oil fields, then the U.S. cared and labeled him an evil dictator even though he was evil before the nationalization of the oil fields. The rest is history... (Iran/Iraq war, Gulf War, the present...)

Taliban - Beacuse the taliban didnt Emerge intil 1993/1994 at the time clinton was president not reagon.http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761588418/Taliban.html
The Taliban movement emerged out of the chaos and uncertainty of the Afghan-Soviet War (1979-1989) and subsequent civil war in Afghanistan. During the 1980s Afghanistan was occupied by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and ruled by a Soviet-backed government. Afghanistan’s long war with the USSR was largely fought by mujahideen (Islamic guerrilla) factions with assistance from the United States; Pakistan also provided places of refuge, military training, and other support. After the Soviets completed their withdrawal in 1989, civil war broke out between the mujahideen factions and the central government. Afghanistan’s central government had long been dominated by the country’s majority ethnic group, the Pashtuns, but after the Soviet withdrawal a coalition government that included Tajiks, Uzbeks, Hazaras, and other minority groups came to power. The Taliban emerged as a faction of mujahideen soldiers who identified themselves as religious students.
uhm during clinton?
Taliban, Islamic fundamentalist movement in Afghanistan that controlled most of the country from September 1996 to November 2001. The Taliban movement was created in 1994 by a senior mullah (Islamic priest), Mohammed Omar, in the southern Afghanistan city of Kandahār.

This just further proves that you're an idiot who talks out of his ass without knowing a damn thing. Seriously, you don't know shit. The Taliban emerged in 1994... the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1989.... Reagan wasn't even president at the time the Taliban entered Afghanistan... OWNED BITCH!
