I recently watched the film “Charlie Wilson’s War,” which relates how the United States came to arm the Mujahideen fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. At the end of the film, as America’s erstwhile clients turn into the Taliban, Wilson, the American politician who got them the money, is quoted as saying “We won a great victory, but fouled up the end game.”
他们的继任者——美国做得并不比他们更好。我最近看了电影《查理·威尔逊的战争》（Charlie Wilson’s War），影片讲述了美国如何武装阿富汗圣战组织和苏联对抗。在影片末尾，美国昔日的被保护人演变为塔利班，而为他们提供资金的美国政客威尔逊说：“我们大获全胜，但也弄糟了结局。”
