The post you are reporting:
Barry, Al Quaeda were not an invention of Taliban, who inherited the Al Quaeda presence from the Mujahedin who had fought the previous Afghan government and the Soviet army. I also bileve that Taliban knew nothing of what Al Quaeda planned on terrorist activities, reckoning that these al Quaeda people from many countries were just training as veterans of the Mujahedin war. They probably felt that they owed them some hospitality for past services in Afghanistan, didn't feel like physically throwing them out. However, they had thrown out the Mujahedin who actually did invite Al Quaeda over. So, when Al Quaeda commited international terrorism, the Taliban, then in government in Kabul, were as much surprised as anyone else!!!
They did say that they would look into it and expel Al Quaeda, but were not given a chance, and the US armed forces went in and bombed the former Mujahedin back to power, and then set up what you fedine as a "democratic government" in Kabul.
Before you keep sounding off and calling Taliban Al Quaeda and claiming that Taliban still offers Al Quaeda any kind of hospitality or that they know what Al Quaeda had planned in 2002, try getting your facts right and finding out who formed Al Quaeda in the first place, because it was not the Taliban who did!#
as for bombing and shooting democracy to power around the world, and sacrificing the men of so many Christian mothers and wives in the process, forget it!
Also, you have been telling us on your blog what you consider to be democracy, and that is that a conservatice oligarchy makes all decisions and we public should just accept them!
As for the people up high telling us that we MUST accept their war and the sacrifices in Afghanistan, I say that we MUST tell them where to get off!
