You're forgetting that the Sovjets could only invade due support of NA which led to the distruction of the country. Mujahideen once supported by US and her Allies abandoned the county to bleed to death when their goals were achieved, i.e. withdrawl of USSR in 1987.
Huh? The Northern Alliance included Massoud, Ismail Khan and Wahdat, people who fought the Soviets. Dostum's faction was the only major part which had fought alongside the Soviets (and BTW Hekmayter and later the Taliban all made use of ex-DRA technocrats).
