That is the American way. Spread lots of weapons around the world, arm groups that are fundamentalist in nature, support dictatorships and repression, etc.
Where do you think Al-Queda came from? Most of the terrorists we are fighting now originally trained in CIA terror training camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan in the mid-1980s. CIA went around the Middle East recruiting Islamic fundamentalists and trained them in terror tactics in order to fight against the "godless" communists, the Soviet Union.
The operation was a sucess and caused the Soviet Union to become unstable and eventually collapse.
