From the 'Why Don't We Ever Learn from History?' File:

"The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border (of Afghanistan), I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire."- Zbigniew Brzezinski
