As far as I'm concerned, the 92-01 war had the support of the US along with Russia. But that's way besides the point I'm making.

I didn't mean that it's 30 years strictly against the US, I am only saying that these people have been tortured by war for 30 years and all people care about is to call the Talibans terrorists, not the people's suffering by the world powers' interventions.

Instead of playing with numbers, we could just focus on the issue of portraying every enemy of the US as a terrorist and mocking anything these people go through just because someone the west doesn't like prevailed. Of course they are religious fundamentalists and oppressing, especially to women, but they are a legitimate government as much as you don't like it and the people have the right to sort their society morals on their own just like the west did - it feels stupid to articulate such obvious statements, but people don't get it.

I'm Indifferent, though I see your point. I thought your numbers undercut your argument before you elaborated. Thanks for the follow-up.

I'm sorry I assumed that, people's goal when making comments on semantics is usually to obfuscate the point
