The Soviet Union Withdrew From Afghanistan

I aquit agree with yo on social metior. I mean, come on, let's be realistic and try to figure out whether thereis newance to this position. If you look back to when the soviet union withdrew from afghanistan, for instance, my understanding is that it was presented as a sort of an honourable withdrawal. But remember that it took ten years, from the point of soviet invasion in 19 79 to february 19 89. Do you think the problem is now, we don't have the subtlety of mind in westminster and perhaps washington to think of constructive solutions?
