chunga1 -- for the umpteenth time -- whether you like it or will ever acknowledge it or not, the truth of the matter is that we (Jimmy Carter, no less) stood up and turned loose the mujahadeen before the Soviets came in, precisely in order to (as it turned out, successfully) goad the Soviets to come in to Afghanistan-- (items linked in) http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=49741724 and preceding and following

and the rest is, as they say, history -- . . .

The Russians were asked to come in and help by the Afghanistan government, they pleaded with
them to help them fight against the radicals that we were supplying ..AND Russia came in, to stand side by
side with the Afghans to defeat the religious fanatics/terrorists in 1979 ..the ones we were supporting .. you know?

It's important to remember & KNOW that Russia was INVITED into AFghanistan.
