@ Deaert Fox....how many damned times do you people have to be reminded that the Mujahdin and Taliban aren't the same thing? The Taliban didn't come about til mid 90's...Reagan was already dead. Ask Ahmad Shah Massoud if the Taliban are the same as those who fought the Soviets...oh...that's right...they killed him. The Taliban FOUGHT those who beat the Soviets (by this time...fighting amongst themselves). I'll tell you what...you pretend that the Taliban are the same as those who fought the Soviets...I'll pretend the Pakistani army is the British army (they're both armies...both in the same place...the same and only arguement that the Talibs are the same as those who fought the Soviets...oh...and the American army is an Apache warband...)
I dismiss this excuse. This is just another one of those lame excuses used by some Americans and Westerners who want to justify the support of the very same people
whom they now call "terrorists, extremists, women beaters, oppressors, acid throwing, tribal cave men, bearded mullahs, 7th century mentality people"etc..
Tell me, do you also use the same excuse to justify supporting, training, and funding of Al-Qaeda by NATO in Libya and now Syria?
In Afghanistan Al-Qaeda is evil and are the same people who are responsible for 9/11 (which, they BTW, are responsible for), but in Libya and Syria they've become "revolutionaries" and "rebels" who have gained the sympathy and support of NATO and so called "Western Democracies"? ?
You people act as if the Afghans of the 1980's who fought the Soviets were no "wife beating, acid throwing, 7th century mentality, bearded, tribal cave men", and that all of a sudden they disappeared into thin air, and now in 2001, just when America and allies decided to invade Afghanistan, out of nowhere these new Afghans appeared, they seem to have fallen out of the sky and became "wife beating, acid throwing, 7th century mentality, bearded, tribal cave men" who are evil because they are resisting foreign occupation, now in the form of NATO.
Now, coming to your analogy(ies), they are not correct, rather completely incorrect. Tell me, was Mullah Omar born after the Afghan-Soviet War? Was Jallaludin Haqqani also born after the Afghan-Soviet war? Hekmatyar, was he too born after the Afghan-Soviet war??
Read a little about these above mentioned names and learn some history about Afghanistan.
Secondly, now coming to Ahmed Shah Masoud, he was not assassinated by the Taliban, rather he was assassinated by a Arab of Al-Qaeda, the very same Al-Qaeda with whom our gov.t's are in
bed with in Syria and Libya.
I posted this image before in my previous post, and i'll post it again, this time take heed to what i write next:
Now, its is a documented fact, that one of those bearded men sitting with Reagan is Jallaludin Haqqani, the founder of the group whom the State Department just blacklisted.
So i'm guessing Haqqani is just like George Washington (i didn't say that, Good o'l Reagan did).
