The ethical concerns of what? Geo-Political strategy? It's very simple. Every nation tries to advance it'sown agenda and looks out for itself. That is a lesson supported by precedence. The vast amounts ofrecorded history show that it has happened for as long as we can remember. I was just pointing out whythe US was not as responsible for the outcome as you might think they were. As far as ethical concerns.The Soviet Union backed People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan aided by the Soviets weren't exactlynice people. The Kerala massacre occurred in 1979, in Kerala, where over 1,000 unarmed Afghanicivilians were executed and buried in a mass grave (with many still alive when being buried) There wasthe March 1979 uprising against the Democratic Part of Afghanistan in Herat. The ruling party broke theinsurgency and took the city back, leaving an estimated 25,000 people dead from executions andbombings. General Nabi Azimi was a deputy defense minister and commander of Kabul under MohammadNajibullah (who was the Secretary of the Democratic Party of Afghanistan in the mid 80s) said the regime"arrested too many ordinary people, clergymen, intellectuals … and put them in Pul-i Charkhi prison orexecuted them in Pul-i Charkhi prison without trial on dark nights and threw them into holes already

prepared." This is the same prison that had no water pipes or toilets and held 12,000 political prisoners ayear after the coup, with many of them being executed. By the time the UN Commission on HumanRights got around to reporting of Human Rights violations in Afghanistan in 1986, by the Democratic Partof Afghanistan, their report said[The Special Rapporteur] received information concerning the disappearance of persons prior to 27December 1978. It was alleged that some 9,000 persons had been killed, although Amnesty Internationalrefers to a list of 4,845 killed. As stated in his report to the General Assembly (A/40/843, para. 50), theSpecial Rapporteur was informed that the number of persons considered to have disappeared before theamnesty in 1980 is, in fact, much higher than that previously announced. Recently the SpecialRapporteur heard the testimony of a former member of the Ministry of Planning in Afghanistan, who wasauthorized in February 1980 to register all missing persons on the basis of information received fromtheir relatives and friends. In three weeks over 25,000 persons between the ages of 18 and 60 had beenregistered. The missing persons were well educated and included medical doctors, government officials,military or religious people. An analysis was ordered by the minister in charge. In the view of the witness,well over 27,000 persons would have been registered missing if the registration procedure had not beenstopped when it was discovered that the number of missing persons was much higher than foreseenThat's not to mention the countless bombings, political arrests, torture and executions of other peoplethat I would have no problem mentioning if you're still interested. The real ethical concern would havebeen deciding to not intervene and support fighters who were rebelling against the regime that wascommitting war crimes and crimes against humanity As far as what they turned into afterwards with theTaliban. Hindsight is 20/20. I'm sure every nation would rethink and change their decision to supportsomeone/some group if they knew what they would turn into after the fact.
