The West has no problems with Islamic fundamentalism there. Probably one of the most fanatic Islamic fundamentalist groups in the world in recent years was led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the terrorist extremist who had been a CIA favorite and prime recipient of the $3.3 billion in (official) U.S. aid given to the Afghan rebels (with roughly the same amount reported from Saudi Arabia), the man who shelled Kabul with thousands killed, driving hundreds of thousands of people out of the city (including all Western embassies), in an effort to shoot his way into power; not quite the same as Pol Pot emptying Phnom Penh, since the U.S. client was far more bloody in that particular operation." - An excerpt from Noam Chomsky's, "Stability"

This was not written by a conspiracy theorist nutjob, rather a genius in the field of linguistics and well respected political researcher.
There is no big secrete about this.
Nor is it a big secret that the CIA backed coups in Iran and multiple South/Central American countries(Guatamala, Ecuador, Domincan Republic, Brazil, Chile) that replaced democratically elected leaders ith dictators who were loyal to the Untied States
