The Campaign for a U.S. Afghanistan Partnership, CUSAP, is dedicated to promoting U.S. support of the development of a strong and prospering Afghanistan. U.S.-Afghanistan citizens constitute membership of CUSAP, and the board members include, Milt Bearden, Assad A. Mattin, Omar Olumee, and Hamed Wardak.
Part of CUSAP’s mandate is to educate the public so that they realize that Afghanistan is not a repeat of Vietnam, and is not a hopeless case. Until the brutal takeover of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union Afghanistan was a stable country. With the help and support of the United States, Afghanistan was able to liberate itself from the yoke of Soviet oppression, but not before over one million Afghanis had been killed.
From the time the Soviets left the Taliban and al Qaeda led the Afghan people into many more years of disastrous tyranny; until, in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 catastrophe, the United States once again intervened and helped liberate Afghanistan from the clasp of oppression.
