Why we fight.

[Samson]

The citizens of Afghanistan didn't fight when the Taliban took over.

But the Taliban took over during a long and bloody civil war. Fighting has never stopped in that country for decades. What history book do you use?

 

[Yeeek]

Indeed fighting never stopped there, Massoud and its people never stopped to fight those extremists untill he was assaninated. You make it sound like Afghan people let it happen without fighting.

 

[Verbose]

But the Taliban took over during a long and bloody civil war.

With Pakistani blessings.
(Well, someone had to put that particular house in order and for a while the Taliban seemed like just the bunch to do it.)

138,000 soldiers in camo in the sands of Iraq because the other side wants to blow us to hell.

Yeah, with their box-cutters, non-existant nuclear weapons, and stones. You can't forget the stones.
