This is why I was against the occupation of Afghanistan
Yes it wasn't a good idea but the global progressive elite thought they could impose freedom and democracy there, but there's always more than one reason for invading a country, to change the politics, to pinch resources, to make profits, for world peace, etc. The Taliban only know one thing - Islam ... and they're strong headed, like Brian Ross, undemocratic and politically rigid, negotiations and compromise are always off the table
Lefty progessives say that if these mass killings by muslims are not happening in Western countries, then we shouldn't be concerned about them, and therefore we shouldn't worry about what the Taliban does, which doesn't make sense when we consider that the Lefty progessives are
International socialists, but they fail to condemn "International" muslim attacks
The Taliban, Al-Qaeda and ISIS simply don't want Western influence in any muslim country - period
