Afghanistan could have done whatever the Afghans wanted -- tribes killing tribes -- whatever.
The Soviet v. NATO block Cold War dogma has caused the terrorism today.
Afghanistan was not strategic to the Soviets or NATO in 1978 -- the Afghans should have been left alone -- everyone would be better off for it.

Wow someone else who actually gets it. It's amazing the level of amnesia people have on this situation. The soviets spent the better half of a century trying to expand and conquer other countries. The only reason the US was in the middle east to begin with was to drive them out. Not only can you thank Russians for Afghanistan, but also North Korea. The Soviets were the ones who put those assholes in power (please don't make that BS excuse of the Soviet Union not existing anymore). North and South Korea are the perfect example of what being backed by Russia or the US will bring you.
