...dismay over the U.N. humiliation ebbed when Pakistan jolted the President by brusquely rejecting a U.S. offer of $400 million in military aid because it was too little ("Peanuts," Pakistan President Zia had said weeks before). Down the drain with that went the efforts of National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, who only five weeks ago on a mission to Islamabad had attempted to convince Zia that his security and future lay with the U.S. America, offering its money and a hint of its might, had been spurned in quite embarrassing public circumstances.

Our families are not averse to suffering in order to preserve the conditions they have grown...

Hawkish observers-including National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski-have argued that the move could turn out to be Moscow's first big step toward the oil and warm waters of the Persian Gulf. Historian George Kennan and other defenders of détente say no, the Kremlin was acting defensively to shore up its southern border. Not surprisingly, the latter interpretation is endorsed in the Soviet Union. Also not surprisingly, an insistence on the defensive, legitimate and temporary nature of the Afghan operation...
