This point is arguable, Throbert, in that America paid for much of the weaponry used by the Taliban (or as we used to call them back then - "Afghan freedom fighters") to defeat the Soviets. That in turn had significant economical ramifications for the USSR. Ultimately, yes, it was an economic war - but make no mistake, people died on the battlefield as a result.

Charlie Wilson's War, anyone...?
