#1 A review of history: The Afghan Muslim Brothers were responsible for moving President Daud to effect a rapprochement with Pakistan, and initiate an effort to end their territorial dispute. The move was made in 1975 when Daud met privately with Pak PM Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The meet was arranged in 1975 by King Khaled of Saudi Arabia at the Funeral of King Faisal. The suppression of the Communist movement in Afghanistan was the demand of Middle Eastern monarchies for their aid to both nations. Following the Soviet invasion in December 1979, the anti-Soviet movement was funded by Saudi Arabia. Thus, Haq is self-serving and, in effect -- the Communists would have occupied [western] Pakistan had the Saudis (and American arms supplies) not stopped them.
