So, if you think if we walked away from this, didn't give them money today,

it would be worse for us from the security stand point?

I do... We're building a relationship that just did not exist.

I said in our last trip when you were with me that we had a huge trust deficit...

...in part because of the United States had - to be fair -

...we had helped to create the problem we're now fighting.

How?

Because when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan,

we had this brilliant idea hat we were gonna come to Pakistan...

...and create a force of Mujahedin,

equip them with Stinger missiles and everything else...

...to go after the Soviets inside Afghanistan.

And we were successful, the Soviets left Afghanistan,

and then we said: "Great! Good bye!"

Leaving these trained people...

...who were fanatical in Afganistan and Pakistan,

leaving them well armed,

creating a mess frankly that at the time we didn't really recognise.

We were just so happy to see the Soviet Union fall,

and we thought fine, we are OK now,

it was gonna be so much better.

Now you look back, the people we're fighting today...

...we were supporting in the fight against the Soviets.
