What would be the Soviet Governments reaction to a proposition that the United States now put 10.000 of its own advisers into Kabul? That would not be a very welcome proposition in the exciting talks leading up to another superpower summit. Pakistan is worried that if it signs peace accords with the puppet regime. it will be granting that puppet government international legitimacy. More to the point. from the Pakistanisperspective. if the Sovietspull out with the puppet regime intact. the resistance will continue fighting and Pakistan will continue to be stuck with the 3 million Afghan refugees who will be unable to return home. In the eyes of the Pakistanis. that would be a sham settlement. I agree.
