>Afghanistan

Most of the support was done by China/Pakistan/Arabs.

That said, we still abandoned our allies after Soviets withdrawn, and paid the price when Taliban and their Al-Qaeda friends were given free reign to prepare their attacks on us.

In 1998, a U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency analyst, Julie Sirrs, visited Massoud's territories privately, having previously been denied official permission to do so by her agency. She reported that Massoud had conveyed warnings about strengthened ties between the Taliban and foreign Islamist terrorists. Returning home, she was sacked from her agency for insubordination, because at that time the U.S. administration had no trust in Massoud.[126]

In the meantime, the only collaboration between Massoud and another U.S. intelligence service, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), consisted of an effort to trace Osama bin Laden following the 1998 embassy bombings.[127] The U.S. and the European Union provided no support to Massoud for the fight against the Taliban.

Mahmoud would be assassinated by Al-Qeada literally 2 days before 9/11
