Idiocy is bipartisan.

And that includes me, I suppose. Mikado, I will admit I actually believed that theory until just now because of my lack of information on that subject. Thank you for informing me. I assume the Mujaheddin was composed of people like Massoud et al?

I think the larger point - that the Soviet-installed government was better than anything since - is still valid, regardless of which group of warlords is 'Taliban' and which group is 'Mujahedeen'.

You are far too intelligent to believe that drivel which opebo does not actually believe himself, right?
