The Taliban should really be called the Afghan resistance movement and now the government of Afghanistan. I for one would appreciated it if people would just use the word Afghanistan rather than the Taliban when referring to the country and the actions of its government. Not to do so is like referring to the Vietnamese government as the Vietcong every time you refer to their actions rather than referring to them as the actions of Vietnam (the country, its government and its people).

 @stevenfallinge7149 Because they were collaborators and traitors, as was the puppet government.

@hungrymusicwolf Capitalism is the best form of government... as is teeters on the edge of another Great Depression, not to mention all of the other, countless cyclical recessions that went before. And democracy did not bring about capitalism either because capitalism is by its nature undemocratic, as you are now seeing with the plutocratic oligarchy driving the USA and its minions into bankruptcy and war after war. Democracy was in fact an attempt to rein in the excesses and tyranny of capitalist oligarchy. Social and technological advances also occurred in spite of these things you call capitalism and democracy and when they did occur because of capitalism it was as a result of the system's need for war to further its expansion.
