OK, WI from the 1980s onwards there were more influential politicians along the lines of Charlie Wilson who were able to successfully push for covert support of their favourite causes to the extent of facilitating the arming, training & utilisation of other freedom fighter/guerilla groups as well as the Mujahideen ? WI say there was some-1 similar to Charlie who- with a similar sorta clout & status- decided to back the Bosniacs, the Haitians, or the Tutsis during the 1990s ? Or maybe even during the 1980s- advocates for other oppressed groups like the Kurds (hmmm, PESHMERGA fighters in Iraq armed with Stingers to down Saddam's airforce, anyone ? ) or Hmong ?
