America directly aided Islamic extremists against a legitimate communist government, helped radicalize many Afghans, and lied to the world about the "soviet invasion" which really was the Soviet government sending troops to Afghanistan at the behest of the Afghan government.

what about Israel? (do you think they are also linked with CIA "mysterious operations" and plotting against Middle Eastern muslims?)

No lies were told. The Soviets were interfering with the already on-going civil war in Afghanistan, so in the usual Cold War fashion the U.S interfered in favor of the opposing side. I suppose you could argue that Afghanistan would of been better off if the Soviets had won, but things would of just fallen apart again when the U.S.S.R collapsed.

The rebels in question were already radicalized, as many fighters were there for the expressed purpose of fighting the largely atheist communists.

It's also noteworthy that these rebels received support from SEVERAL countries outside the U.S, including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Are those countries to blame for the Taliban's existence as well?
