The mujahadin fought Russians in the 80s, and then they evaporated! And "Taliban" consists of some green men from out of space!

Read the history. The Taliban came from Pakistan in the 90s, caught up some southern warlords, killed most of the "freedom fighters" who were in charge of the country at the time, and took over the country. The US tried to help the northern alliance fight them, but Clinton pulled the CIA out. The Taliban then had total control. In came AlQeada, who set up camp with the Talibans permission, attacked the US, who then came in to finish off the Taliban and AQ.

We never supported the people we are fighting, no more than did we ever create Bin Laden and AQ in Iraq, as the myth goes. People simply havent researched the facts.
