I'm pretty sure Thomas M. and I are on the same page on this one. The departure of the Soviets removed the reason for hostilities in Afghanistan, though they did continue in Chechnya.

And I guess that's why all of those Afghanis decided not to go home from their refugee camps in Pakistan.. Because peace "broke out" the minute the Soviets left?

The only you and Thomas are on is the page of propaganda you're trying to wipe your @sses with..

And btw, Al-Qaeda, as an organization, did not exist during the war in Afghanistan. There were foreign volunteers, Bin Laden being one of the wealthier ones, but Al-Qaeda was created AFTER the Gulf War when the US used Saudi territory to evict Iraq from Kuwait (and then remained there to contain Saddam Hussein)...
