Purports to be a timeline of events leading to and related to 9/11 (as well as the current war by necessity) - Whether you agree with it or not it is really quite interesting and there's tons of interesting little bits that would take a lifetime to verify. There's so much there, that I've only just begun to scratch the surface, but go ahead... start attacking it or agreeing with it or whatever it is you do.
Here's one interesting snippet...
"1984-1994: The US, through USAID and the University of Nebraska, spends millions of dollars developing and printing textbooks for Afghan schoolchildren. The textbooks are filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings, part of covert attempts to spur resistance to the Soviet occupation. For instance, children are taught to count with illustrations showing tanks, missiles and land mines. Lacking any alternative, millions of these textbooks are used long after 1994; the Taliban are still using them in 2001. In 2002, the US started producing less violent versions of the same books, which Bush says will have "respect for human dignity, instead of indoctrinating
students with fanaticism and bigotry." Bush fails to mention who created those earlier books. [Washington Post, 3/23/02, CBC, 5/6/02] Since the war with Russia ended in 1989, why did the US keep promoting Islamic radicalism another five years?"
