Coming from an American, this is rich. The Taliban are a direct offshoot of the cynical and self serving American Afghan policy thru the Eighties, which created a fighting force of Mujahideen as a bulwark against Russian communism, On the USSR's demise, the now unemployed Mujahideen were exploited by Pakistan, smarting under the dismemberment of their country, to foment trouble in Punjab and Kashmir. Remember, Osama was then a foreign Mujahideen recruit working for American interests. Terror against other countries at that time did not seem to matter. > I'm sure you would feel the same if the center of London was bombed and > thousands > of people killed simply because of some religious fanatical organizations > twisted > views.
