At the end of Afghansti, Peter Kosminky’s documentary about Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan shown on More4 last night, a senior officer is asked to make a prediction.
What will people would say about the Afghan war in 30 years time? His answer was something like this: “We will think 100 times before attempting to resolve international problems with force.” He then quotes a Russian proverb: “measure your cloth seven times, becasue you can only cut it once.”
Interesting, no?
