It was actually pretty good, and as far as I know, just about exactly on par with what happened.
Sad that the US ignored Afghanistan at that time....they had already won over the hearts and minds of the people by helping them beat the Soviets, instead they let the Taliban come in and take over.
Very sad.

Yes the Americans should have predicted was going to happen and sent troops into Afghanistan. Never mind the fact they were in the middle of the cold war and this would have brought them into direct contact with Soviet troops.
