If we cared so much for Afghans, how come we did not even ask them to be present in the discussions on Soviet withdraw? How come we did not allow them to negotiate the terms of compensation for the soviet destructions? How come we did not support Ahmed Shah Masood who was the best general the Afghans had and instead cozied up to the Saudi supported extremists?

It was just about settling score with Russians and once they were out so were we.

The facts do not bear your romantic outlook of US actions in Afghanistan.
