The fighting between Afghanistan and the Soviet Union lead to many deaths, fleeing, starvation, and homeless. The Soviet Union did invade Afghanistan, and put in a "puppet leader." There was a total of 1,000,000 dead Afghanistan, and the USA funded the guerrilla warfare of the Afghanis.

After the great victory over the savage Soviets, the country in ruins was mostly just abandoned to more misery. A ripe environment for the Taleban's (EXTREME ISLAMIC GROUP) taking over and controlled many of the towns with Islamic militant law, and woman's rights were stripped from them. The Taliban had a simple strategy for taking over an area - kill everyone who doesn't flee.

The Taleban areas became hiding and training grounds for the AL QAEDA terrorist groups. The USA helped Hamid Karzai (current president) get into power.

Opium is being sold in Afghanistan, which is a big problem. Isn't horrible what has happened to Afghanistan all because of the fighting against the Soviet Union.

Stop the fighting!
