In 1979, Pakistani students attacked and set fire to the American embassy in Islamabad. A few days later the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Carter decided that it would be best to forget the earlier incident and back an Islamic Jihad in Afghanistan. This international Jihadist movement became known as al-Qaeda.

Here we are 40 years later and Iraqis are pissed off because the USA bombed their People's militia who liberated the country from ISIS and al-Qaeda.
