No, not at all, respect to the Polish people. Didn't even know his son was in politics.
I simply cited him as one of the figures most identified with the US arming and propping up Muslim fundamentalists in Afghanistan in order to drag the Soviets into a Vietnam all of their own right on their border. That's what that quote illustrates.

My point was that violent invaders and foreign usurpers aren't the best conduit for Western European Liberal Enlightenment Values, which is the fantasy version of America's role in Afghanistan. If they were, Taliban wouldn't be the only game in town after 20 years.
