The FInal Paper and Chapter

For my final paper I am looking at the Soviet-Afghan war and how the CIA's intervention created optimal conditions for the Taliban to rise to power. the title of my paper is "Afghanistan: A CIA Intervention That Lead to a Disaster." so as you can probably tell it will be in interesting paper. Doing research has been rally interesting. Over the last two years we have looked at everything and I really think that this project at least for me helps close the book. I hope everyone else feels the same way, I like the way we have the option to do whatever to close the pathway chapter. In terms of sources, so far I have found some very interesting thing's, I have read CIA bulletins, and Russian document's, that describe what was going on. Overall it is all an interpretation game much like everything with the Middle East! It's really up to the reader to intemperate the material I am the reader now but you all will be the reader soon, when I present my paper on the last day!

S0 this is on a completely different note. I have really enjoyed the pathway over the last two years, you all were the first people I met here at Colby-Sawyer. I know we all think this pathway has had its highs and lows but I really have enjoyed the ride with all of you.

See you next time!
