But we have provided training and funding and weaponry to these Islamist terrorist groups that they never had access to before. Yes, there was violence but it was in smaller bursts and they were not as emboldened as they are now.

From the late 1950's through the 90's, we operated under the old "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" theory, and our number 1 enemy was communism. We fed the Islamists money, weapons and training to fight off the Soviet Union so that our military didn't have to be involved (except for Viet Nam) and didn't seem to realize that they would someday turn on us.
