Carter was a war criminal?

Islamic terror groups today can be traced back to when the US under Carter sent aid to mujahideen rebels to counter Soviet influence in Afghanistan. Osama Bin Laden, in fact, started out as a financier and militant for Afghan Arabs (Arab Muslims that migrated to Afghanistan to fight the Soviets). The imperial boomerang always comes home.
