In message , Kevin Brooks writes There apparently is a significant distinction between how we left Vietnam and how the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan. The US tried to support South Vietnam, eventually withdrew, and it collapsed and was taken over by North Vietnam within a few years. The USSR tried to support Najibullah in Afghanistan, eventually withdrew, and Najibullah was murdered and the country riven by civil war between the _jombesh_ until the Taliban took over. Wasn't Najibullah executed by the Taliban in 1996. There are serious differences, but there are still some similarities. -- He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. Julius Caesar I:2 Paul J.
