The United States can be considered a modern day Frankenstein. In Frankenstein, Viktor creates his Creature which turns his back on his creator due to abandonment. Back in the 80's the United States trained Osama Bin Laden. We were helping in the war in Afghanistan against the Russians. However, after the USSR forfeited, Afghan thought the US would continue to help them. We lost interest and ignored their internal struggles as they began fighting within their country. This is similar in Frankenstein when Viktor casts aside his creation after he is finished making it. Both helped for what they wanted but after things got even more rough, they just gave up. Now we deal with the consequences of anger and war.
