#1 The Russians have been quietly and steadily beavering away in Dagestan, Chechnya and vicinity for some time now, slowly but surely attriting the terrs. No doubt the threats against the upcoming Olympics add some motivation. Good hunting, comrades!

#2 One wonders what Afghanistan would have been like if the US had not aided the anti-Soviets, which eventually became the Taliban. In hindsight maybe we gave too much aid - should have been just enough to keep them killing each other indefinitely.
I don't like the Russians much, but I sure hope we don't decide to help the Islamofascists in Dagestan, etc.

#3 It wasn't so much aiding the anti-Soviet forces as much as funding the Pak ISI as the venue to do it with. It's sort of like backing Stalin against Hitler in that case.
