You have to get the timeline right. The Sovs invaded on Dec 24, 1979. And yeah, the Russians were brutal as they are in Chechniya.

re: #474 SanFranciscoZionist

I don’t think 9/11 had a thing to do with Afghanistan, except that circumstances made it a convenient place for certain people to hang out.

Not a thing? It is where OBL learned his craft and where he holed up supported by the Taliban and where we went to root him out. I’d say that Afghanistan had a lot to do with 9/11.
