Did the US invade Afganistan in 1980 and execute a brutal war? No that was 
Russia.
The US and the Arab world supported the resistance fighters - it did not 
create them. 
I explained in my other recent post that the Pakistani's demanded that the US 
support only the most radical faction - which ended up backfiring.

No..... of course its not nuclear. Don't you think someone would protest 
nuking Afganistan? Its just a big bomb 2.5 Tons. A nuke would have the power 
of tens of thousands of tons of TNT.

Its their own people who suffer and the people of the world. No one voted the 
Taliban into office, they took force at the point of a gun. So you think its 
better to just let them kill a few thousand civilized people every month? Is 
that a better solution?
