The comment? "it is though after ... years of fighting the Taliban ... the US and their allies left Afghanistan and put the Taliban back in charge."
Imagine that.
Perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise, considering how the US supported the mujahideen in overthrowing Afghanistan's most forward-thinking, women-friendly government - the one run by communists in the 1980s. I predict that America won't have any problem with the Taliban, as long as they keep the heroin flowing.
