The Soviets did not invade Afghanistan

The Marxist writer Philip Bonosky visited Afghanistan several times in the 1980's while a reporter for the Daily World. Bonosky shows the history of relations between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan showing that the Soviet Union had lived by Afghanistan peacefully for years and had only sent in troops at the request of the Afghan government. Bonosky also shows the efforts of the pro Soviet Afghan government to modernize the country by building schools and improving the status of women. The United States and Pakistan backed the Muhajedeen who commited many acts of terrorism against the Afghan people such as torture, blowing up schools, amd murder. The U.S. support of the Muhajedeen led to Osama Bin Laden and 9-11.
