When Russia invaded Afghanistan in 1980



Interesting question. Now way back in 1980 I and a young radicalized female were interviewed by the Evening Times in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. We  were reported as saying we -then speaking for the Socialist Workers Party -supported the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan because the Soviet Union could not tolerate such a reactionary regime on its very borders.  But Iraq is not on our borders. And we should have no imperialist interests in Iraq.   

                                         THE QUESTION
If I could restore the Soviet-backed government of Afghanistan, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Who would join me?
