Afghanistan starving for relief

On her visit to Nova Scotia, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice conceded that the United States made a major mistake in 1989. When the Soviet Union withdrew after 10 years of war and 15,000 troop deaths, the U.S. also pulled out. Bad call, Rice admitted. "We left the Afghan people without any means of support, political support, economic support, security support. Afghanistan turned into a failed state ... and we all came to pay for that."
