We did build schools in Afghanistan and the Taliban blew them up. Evil exists; it’s childish to pretend it doesn’t. As long as there are people that think it’s ok to beat women for not wearing a burka, there will be a need for men and women willing to fight. You don’t placate evil, you destroy it. Does anyone out there actually believe that the Taliban could have been defeated with schools and wells? An incredibly naïve viewpoint. Until you actually spend some time in those places, you can have no idea of the evil that thrives in the hearts of men.

- buttcoinslol 9y agoThe US had nothing to do with creating the Taliban. If you are trying to argue that the US created the Afghan mujahideen rebels in the 1980s, you're still (mostly) wrong. Some Afghans were already rebelling against the Soviet aligned Democratic Republic of Afghanistan when the US decided to throw in with them. You could make the argument that the US had a hand in creating extremists in Afghanistan by aligning with them, but the USSR were the initial aggressors that created a rebel opposition group. We're all aware that funding Osama bin Laden was part of that, that part isn't up for debate. What is up for debate is who built the Taliban and mujahideen.
