First sentence: It is possible that had the United States heeded the warnings of Mikhail Gorbachev (in respect to American support for the Afghan mujahedin, who were once upon a time depicted as "freedom fighters"), the horrors of the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon might never have taken place.
