    @yogthos We may disagree with Taliban on religious, political and social issues, but their victory against the US is an inspiration and a source of hope for hundreds of millions if not billions.

        Unless the people who take control are horrible people who don’t believe in equality, and personal freedoms. And, who are willing to hurt people to enforce strange and archaic beliefs.

        Too bad they hate women and LGBT and anything else that’s not just like them.

            Except they weren’t. Women could go to school. Now they cannot.

              yeah this was so great for them https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/the-assassination-complex/

              During one five-month period of the operation, according to the documents, nearly 90 percent of the people killed in airstrikes were not the intended targets. In Yemen and Somalia, where the U.S. has far more limited intelligence capabilities to confirm the people killed are the intended targets, the equivalent ratios may well be much worse.

              It’s absolutely vile how people will go on to try and justify colonialism.

                No one is defending colonialism. It’s saying the Taliban is worse. Which it is. Those poor people.
