No Afghan ever did anything against American either. No Afghan was on board those planes that crashed into those towers on 9/11. On the other hand plenty of Saudi's were.
America created the whole mess in Afghanistan long ago when they called their now enemies their friiend, when they armed them to the teeth to take down a government that built schools for women, gave free education and started to modernise the country and take it out of the stone age.
I think we should leave the Afghans the hell alone, stop occupying their land. We're not welcome there and never will be. Every day we stay we make another new enemy.

I agree with almost everything you say comrade, the exception being this: "the taliban are not my enemy." The taliban are my enemy as they ran a cruel and unjust regime, supressing the people, especially the women, of Afghanistan and as such are my enemy. But the rest of what you say I agree with.
