I'm not denying that the Taliban is scum. I'm merely pointing out that without our help they wouldn't exist today.

Where did you get that idea? What support have we ever given the Talaban? The did not exist as an organization when we were aiding the Afghan resistance. They came to be only a few years ago when the Pakistanis got tired of having the trade convoys heading for Central Asia ripped off by various war lords and bandits who controlled parts of Afghanistan. They financed and armed the Talaban to protect their commerce.

But keep trying. I'm sure as this thread gets longer, you'll find a way to blame all this on the Founding Fathers.
