We plyed no role other that prior to Sept 11. Unlike Vietnam, we played only a cameo in this fight. You disappointment me with your lack of understanding of the present situation. We never were active players in the war with Russia. While we worked out of pakistan to supply weapons. what the Pakistanias did in that war ia There problems is for them to answer for. Afganistan was not even a strategic partner.
