Brzezinski And The Mujahideen 1979

In this video-footage Zbigniew Brzezinski arrives in a helicopter and speaks to a translator in front of a seated crowd of Mujahedeen: 'We know of their deep belief in god - that they're confident that their struggle will succeed. - That land over-there is yours - and you'll go back to it some day, because your fight will prevail, and you'll have your homes, your mosques, back again, because your cause is right, and god is on your side.' -- I apologize for the poor quality of the video. The video-footage can be found in the documentary series "Cold War" (Episode #24, Soldiers of God, 1975-1988), Turner Original Productions (Time Warner), 1998. Speaker Kenneth Branagh. For a broader perspective on what this speech is really about read Le Nouvel Observateur's interview with ZB (15-21 January, 1998) or watch ZB's interview (January 2010) with Paul Jay from the Real News Network. TRNN's interview is uploaded on this channel in three parts.
