A constant criticism of the US seems to be its incessant meddling in the affairs of other countries. I was talking to a friend about this and he brought up the Taliban, referring to the US backed Mujahideen as the source of it. While, it could be argued that Al-Qaeda (in particular Osama bin Laden) were linked to previous Mujahideen, the Taliban seemed to be something entirely different. So, the question I’m asking would be regarding US and it’s involvement with the Taliban.
