Lev Zaikov. called the INF agreement "a triumph of the new political thinking which the Communist Party laid as the foundation of its struggle to establish a lasting nuclear free and nonviolent world." But surely the waging of war against the people of Afghanistan and Soviet domination of that country neither represent "new political thinking" nor contribute to the "struggle for a nonviolent world." It is 8 years ago this month that the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. The Prime Minister was executed and the exiled head of the Communist Party faction was installed in his place. Over a million Afghans have died in the resulting war. Approximately 2.8 million Afghan refugees. settled in more than 300 camps. are also casualties of this savage conflict. It is imperative that the Soviets withdraw their forces from this wartorn country and allow the Afghan people to live in peace and freedom. We must vigorously and firmly pursue this objective.
