Yeah.. why not tell that to the Afghani women who had to deal with Taliban "vice" police and the Afghani kids who had their kites taken from them and burned (and you should know that Afghani kids LOVE to fly their kites). If kites are such a threat to the Taliban, imagine how your computer privileges probably give them nightmares... Why can't you be honest with yourself? Before 9/11 no one gave a sh1t about neither Afghanistan nor the Taliban nor anybody living there, however, the US only cared about opium and was paying the Taliban to curb and eliminate opium production. Since 9/11 and after the Taliban refusal to hand in OBL the US invaded Afghanistan. To justify an unjust war, as usual, the US uses the pretext of freedom. In reality American still do not give a sh1t about Afghanis. Look at the Afghani parliament; it is stacked with warlords that pretend to be democratic which in actual fact they are committing atrocities in the name of democracy and they have the US’ backing. I stand by what I've stated. The Taliban are not a tribal entity. I stand corrected; my understanding is that the Taliban have a tribal mentality and a tribal way of life.
