Taliban hosted AQ, gave us 9/11. We may be stuck in a quagmire, but there’s more to the Taliban than banning heroin and to pretend otherwise is disingenuous.

- glogla 7y agoSaudi Arabia gave you 9/11 yet your president is super friendly with them. It's almost as if you're looking for excuse to kill people.
- devoply 7y agoUS gave itself 9/11, it's like the scene from Game of Thrones where Cersei uses religion to increase her power and then that power structure she created fucks her up after gaining power. The same thing is now happening in India and China. Where in India a nut job racist, inspired by Nazi ideology of Hindu racial purity, is running the country and the West is down with it because you know fuck Muslims and their rights... you know after encouraging their religious power structures by protecting Kohmeni in France until he could go in and take over Iran, and disposing of the democratic Iranian government in favor of a dictator. Encouraging Islamic nut jobery in Pakistan to fight the Soviets. Creating Saudi Arabia to control Muslims out of a bunch of backwards nomads that have never led any civilizations in their history. In the case of China, they used China to enrich them and distributed a bunch of technology and know-how to them to increase their own power and now China is basically turning the tables on them. It's like West loves to abuse its power to increase it and then always shies away from taking any responsibility for its action and instead blames the ideology they were exploiting to increase their power.
- rhizome 7y agoI'm not saying the Taliban is reducible to banning heroin, I'm relaying the actual history of US foreign policy toward Af chiefly hinging on that dilemma. When the Taliban is out of power, heroin production goes up. We know this. For decades.
