[kj] [KJ] OT: Afghantsi on UK channel More4 now...

[sade1]

   I dont think U.S. policy was at all well meaning, and as for misguided, 
i thiink the U.S. stayed on-message the whole time.
   From what i've read..
 - the U.S. covertly supported the election of the last 
   pre-Soviet president of Afghanistan because U.S. knew it would 
 - provoke the Russians to invade and 
 - with Ozzie bin Ladin and the proto-Taliban the U.S. would give the Russians 
                                                                            "your own Viet Nam.....!"
  Pretty filthy and underhanded. 
 
  It's (somewhat) like a local land developer fomenting the wife to cheat on her 
husband and the husband to cheat with the au pair while helpting the kids grow 
a poppy field in the garden to keep 'em stoned -  just so the land developer can 
run off with the house/land during the final divorce proceedings. 
 
Ingenious!
 
... ... ... ... ... ... 
(looking at the current state of things)

'Save me..                                                
 save me from Tomorrow..                          
 I don't want to sail in this Ship Of Fools...!'

And little did we know ...
Yet another example of what seemed like at the time as well-meaning (but ultimately very misguided) foreign policy.

And the US supported the Taliban at the time as a proxy to fight the Russians, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

On MORE4 right now, Afghantsi, a documentary about the soviets in Afghanistan . 
Filmed during the occupation, from the Soviet POV, literally, not propaganda. 
The squadies thought it wouldn't be that difficult...
