Afghanistan a Blind Well

Wasif Choudhary

The Soviet war in Afghanistan was a nine-year conflict involving the Soviet Union, supporting the Marxist-Leninist government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan against the Afghan Mujahideen and foreign "Arab–Afghan" volunteers. The mujahideen received unofficial military and/or financial support from a variety of countries including the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, Israel, Taiwan, Indonesia and China.The initial Soviet deployment of the 40th Army in Afghanistan began on December 24, 1979 The final troop withdrawal started on May 15, 1988, and ended on February 15, 1989.
US Invasion
The War in Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001 as the armed forces of the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the Afghan United Front (Northern Alliance) launched Operation Enduring Freedom. The primary driver of the invasion was the September 11 attacks on the United States, with the stated goal of dismantling the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization and ending its use of Afghanistan as a base.
The results of these two back to back wars
Russia had been broken into many small states and the power of russia broken. The economy of Russia also suffer to a large extent and it put russia into a new thinking that what it should do now. Russia is once again trying to establish its economy and concentrating on its inner progress.
When we talk about the US and its Allies that what they have got during the last ten years of this war then it shows the same lesson which Russia got but i should say got more than Russia.
American economy is drowning day by day. We have seen the two major crisis one of which was seen in this year. The American People are on the roads against the economic unstablity. The jobs are cutting off day by day and all and all one can say the Afghanistan is a blind well which has eaten and ruined the Super Powers of the World.
