We killed millions and they killed thousands of us. Even the worst case stats say it was thousands to one. That's all it was ever about in the first place so we won.

Casualties and losses
Soviet Forces: 14,453 Killed (total)
Afghan Forces: 18,000 killed[18]

Mujahideen: 75,000?90,000 killed, 75,000+ wounded (tentative )

Civilians (Afghan): 850,000?1,500,000 killed
Around 3 million Afghans wounded (mostly civilians)

population of afghanistan: 20M (1980)

Who came up with these numbers, aren't rebels civilians? The US interfered and turned the Mujahideen into the Taliban, it created a monster for themselves, something the Russians were trying to destroy a long time ago.

10 years is short? I quote Wikipedia:

Large numbers of Soviet Airborne Forces joined stationed ground troops and began to land in Kabul on December 25.

On December 27, 1979, 700 Soviet troops occupied major governmental, military and media buildings in Kabul, including their primary target – the Tajbeg Presidential Palace.

On December 27, 1979, the operation began at 19:00 hr., when the KGB-led Soviet Zenith Group destroyed Kabul's communications hub, paralyzing Afghan military command.

At 19:15, the assault on Tajbeg Palace began; as planned, president Hafizullah Amin was killed. Simultaneously, other objectives were occupied (e.g. the Ministry of Interior at 19:15).

The operation was fully complete by the morning of December 28, 1979.

Then the US came to help the so called brave and helpless rebels, first by financial aid, later weapons. One of their commanders and leaders was Osama bin Laden! Should've stayed out, and maybe the twin-towers would still be there.

Once again, Mujaheddins were supported by two powerful countries: the USA and China. What would happen to your army if Taliban was supported by Russia? Something tells me that your KIA would grow many times.

Actually Al Qaeda is Taliban. Both were created by CIA, BTW.
