We supported the Mujahadeen in Afghainstan because they were fighting the Soviets. We gave them stinger missiles. Then, we forgot about them, and they became the Taliban.
We sold weapons to Iran and Iraq. We gave Saddam Hussein biological and chemical weapons technology.
We propped up Kuwait during the first Gulf War, where they put electric drills through people's skulls.
We supported Shah Reza Pahelvi, who was hated by his people, inflaming anti-American sentiments which the Ayatollah Khomeni feasted upon.
True, there have always been corrupt dictators. There have probably been corrupt Muslim leaders since the inception of Islam, just as there have been corrupt Christian leaders since the inception of Christianity, and so on. However, these leaders did not emerge from a vaccuum. America didn't cause all of them, but it certainly propped up or put in place most of the modern ones.
