It was 30 years ago that the Soviet Army invaded Afghanistan in order to quell the Islamic opposition to the Communist governments in the area. They stayed in until February 1988. An estimated 1 million Afghans were killed compared to 15,000 Soviet soldiers, according to reports. Is it odd that the United States, who spent so much money to fund the rebels, never seemed to learn? How long have we been mired in the Middle East?
