Actually it's the mujahideen that the US supported, because the Taliban as a movement did not exist then.

Granted, majority of the mujahideen metamorphosed into today's Taliban.

Mujahideen in Arabic means fearless warrior.

The word Taliban is from the Arabic word for student.
Fearless illiterate warriors who are now schooled

There is nothing special about Afghanistan. If the UK, US, or Russia wanted to destroy the country, they would have leveled it with nuclear bombs.

The only reason why there's a special interest in Afghanistan is because it is a breeding ground for terrorists.

Afghan is housing the world largest deposit of Lithium which the US is interested in, the thought of leveling it by USA would not happen. They would rather regain control than destroying it.

So Afghans don't deserve to live abi?

I am still trying to understand why you lots hates Afghanistan so much

Seriously. Talking about leveling them with nuclear weapons like it's animals that live there. I've met a few Afghans and they are wonderful people. Just the fact that they are caught up in evil leadership doesn't make them less than humans

U had think Afghanistan is a country that can be defeated by just any random country with a military. Conversely, the so called World power (just like other world powers) fought there for 20years with no tangible results. Coincidence
u mean 20yrs of Afghanistan terrorist hiding n came out when US left.

I like People telling the truth even they are Christians,. Because sorry we have so many DAFT Christians who don't know what's going on,
Terrorism is a billion dollars business, there are more 3;0000 companies producing weapons in the world now, they have to create market to sell it, plus the US selfish interest which I will not mention

And your brain understood Conquer as Destroy...... Afghanistan isnt targeted bcuz of any terrorist bulshit. The Westerners are only trying very hard to hold dominion to its natural resources and rare high tech metals. No terrorist bulshit why can't they try their gimmicks with Iran since they've all (Unilaterally) designated Iran as a Terrorist state?

With this US failure, any Country that is planning to invade Afghanistan in future will have a very hard time because just like other countries, they will start preparing against foreign invasion. The West has failed yet again.
you have spoken the Truth.

Poorly informed Nigerians like you think the crisis in Afghanistan is caused by a Christian Vs Islamic system of Government.
The US Forces in Afghanistan were occupying Forces and must come to an end which was what the US did by withdrawing from Afghanistan. The US achieved the objectives by making sure Afghanistan no longer pose threats to their interests.

False, wasted effort if Taliban is back in power.

The people of Afghanistan can rule themselves in any ways they like in as much as they stop breeding terrorists that attack the US interests.

Can you or even the Americans guarantee they won't breed terrorists?

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE are Islamic countries that don't practice democracy and are strong allies of the US.

True allies know themselves, the rest are business partners working under a petrol dollar arrangement.

The issues at stake is NOT really about Islamic Government or even about religions as you are ignorantly insinuating.

It is, the religious ideology was the start of the issues. They reject western lifestyle's because of religion.

If you watch the short clip ,you will notice Rambo was just listening to the other person ,an Arab fellow, telling him about Afghanistan exploits.

Edit: For all those people quoting me telling me how Alexander the Great and Ghenghis Khan could not conquer Afghanistan, please STFU with your ignorance.
Alexander the Great conquered Afghanistan but couldn't keep it because he had no heir to unite his empire.

Ghenghis Khan conquered Afghanistan and expanded the Mongol empire all the way from China to Europe.
Afghanistan is nothing but a barren mountainous ragtag land filled with terrorists.
Afghanistan barren ?
