We did not install any government in Afghanstan. When the Soviets pulled out the various factions we had supported took to war with each other. Civil war is the natural state of affairs in that country and it was historically tribal. After years of fighting, the Talaban now has control of about 90% of the country and that is only within the past few years. We did not install or support them in any way.

Question. Why do you continually attempt to find reasons why this is somehow our fault? Can't you simply accept the fact that there really are bad guys in this world and they will be bad regardless of what we do?
