You are distorting my words, now aren't you?
Hardly... After all, it YOU, who stated that under the Taliban, and unbridled militaristic religious tyranny, Afghanistan "enjoyed" a degree of stability:
I find this a curious thing to say. Under the Taliban, Afghanistan enjoyed a degree of stability, and the heroin trade was nearly eradicated, at least for one season.

Considering that under the Taliban over 2 million Afghanis were refugees, that any form of modern communication device was "taboo", and that women, which make up 50% of the population, were denied even the most basic social (or human) rights, the only stability that existed there was that which was enforced upon it's citizens...
Enforced, I might add, by the coercive power of that militaristic state.
No.. Raymond, I don't think I twisted your words at all.. If anything, I provided true meaning to them.
