Zack- You're probably just a Chinese tool, because if you were an actual human who actually studied or even idly thought about history for all of 30 seconds, you'd remember that the US WAS minding its own business 20 years ago when Afghanistan or its "guests" launched an attack on the US that killed over 3,000 Americans; at that time the US did not reflexively attack Afghanistan (which would have been well within their rights) but instead asked, and eventually then demanded the surrender of Bin Laden and the other planners of this attack. The Taliban refused, an ultimatum was delivered and only then did Americans truly "mind their own business" (as you put it) and attack the aggressors in Afghanistan. History lesson over. I'm sure it was a waste of my time.

@zackwang9314 You have no idea what you're on about; there was no US involvement in the 1978 coup. The Soviets invaded Afghanistan to support their aligned communist allies and against the will of the people controlled it in a very bloody manner for a period of time. "The soldiers' knock on the door in the middle of the night, so common in many Arab and African countries, was little known in Afghanistan, where a central government simply lacked the power to enforce its will outside of Kabul. Taraki's coup changed all that. Between April 1978 and the Soviet invasion of December 1979, Afghan communists executed 27,000 political prisoners at the sprawling Pul-i-Charki prison six miles east of Kabul. Many of the victims were village mullahs and headmen who were obstructing the modernization and secularization of the intensely religious Afghan countryside. By Western standards, this was a salutary idea in the abstract. But it was carried out in such a violent way that it alarmed even the Soviets." — Robert D. Kaplan, Soldiers of God: With Islamic Warriors in Afghanistan and Pakistan They were finally forced to leave by the Mujaheddin, and yes at that time the US did give some clandestine aid to the Mujaheddin to help throw the Soviets out. Prior to that, the Saur Revolution or coup started the process by which internecine communists fought each other for years, which finally brought in the Soviets WHICH FIRST CAUSED THE RISE OF THE MUJAHEDDIN OR JIHADIS... and who are once again in control of that bloody nation. My memories of Afghanistan date back to 1974 when I was last there, which was after King Zahir Shah had already been deposed while in Italy by his cousin Daoud Khan. The Saur Revolution and alternatively called the April Revolution or April Coup, was the process by which the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) overthrew Afghan President Mohammed Daoud Khan on 27–28 April 1978, who had himself taken power in the 1973 Afghan coup d'état. Daoud Khan and most of his family were killed at the presidential palace by military officers in support of the PDPA. The revolution resulted in the creation of a Soviet-aligned government with Nur Muhammad Taraki as President (General Secretary of the Revolutionary Council). Saur or Sowr is the Dari (Persian) name of the second month of the Solar Hijri calendar, the month in which the uprising took place The revolution was ordered by PDPA member Hafizullah Amin, who would become a significant figure in the revolutionary government; at a press conference in New York in June 1978, Amin claimed that the event was not a coup but a revolution by the "will of the people". The coup involved heavy fighting and resulted in many deaths. The Saur Revolution was a significant event in Afghanistan's history, marking the onset of 43 years of conflict in the country. In short, communist terror: People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan. Look to the Soviets of that time if you want to apportion blame. Of course, since China is a country ruled by a communist party dictatorship, I imagine you won't do that at all, so again I waste my time in trying to school you.
