Should we give Afghanistan back to the Taliban because of this?

Don't concern yourself with such issues. You are merely a citizen. Only King George knows exactly when we should negotiate with the Taliban for an oil pipeline and send them millions of dollars, and exactly when we should bomb them (and their victims) into submission.

I guess not. After all, Nazis transported Jews in this fashion (like cattle) and caused their deaths in massive numbers en route to concentration camps BUT they did not give their homes back.

A simple acknowledgement and A LITTLE HUMAN SYMPATHY from you might be a beginning, though.

The point is "inhuman treatment" and causing death. It is not "giving a country back" or something...

Can you not differentiate between the two?
