Very interesting. Just a minor quibble, though. General Zia ul-Haq was
most likely killed by the USSR, for allowing CIA Stinger missiles to be
smuggled into Afghanistan. Stingers nullified Soviet air superiority and
moved the war to the ground, to the locals' advantage. The US Ambassador
also died in the plane crash, which as in 1988. The Geneva Peace Accords
had been signed earlier in the year, between the US and USSr. Pakistan
represented the Afghan rebels. The USSR withdrew from Afghanistan in
1989.
