Anybody else here remembers the picture of Reagan with the Taliban and a heading along the lines of "These gentlemen are the moral equivalent of our founding fathers". I am not surprised in the slightest.
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoI'm not sure when the Taliban officially started, but it's probably a bit after Reagan was involved in funding the Mujahadeen. Plus, the individuals mentioned in the linked story are actually warlords that are fighting against the Taliban, in conjunction with the US forces. This is complicated further by the fact that I think many of the warlords switch sides between Taliban, US & freelance depending on whatever seems to be the most lucrative at any point in time.
