Saddam gave stability to Iraq?
Saddam was not a good leader but there was some stability. You do not have to be a supporter of Saddam to acknowledge that the country was stable before 2003.
first, i can think of at least one source that makes the claim that most taliban members were not native afghanis.
Evidence please.
second, YOU might think it's okay for the taliban to invade Muslims lands
So the Taliban invaded Afghanistan? Source?
but a) you are ignorant of the political & nationalistic agenda that surrounds the taliban
Nationalistic? I'm curious, if the members of the Taliban were not native Afghans, then which country are their loyal to?
b) the most important group of people to ask whether the taliban are unwanted foreigners is by asking the afghan people themselves. and so you can think about this on your own don't forget that if the afghan people don't want USA or NATO in afghanistan it does not follow that the Taliban are wanted instead.
I get the impression that you seem to speak for the Afghan people.
And I am adding the Taliban to the list unwanted foreigners in Afghanistan.
Who does not want the Taliban in Afghanistan? Evidence.
it takes more than just law and order to get a country out of ruins; you need to build up infrastructure and economy. Do you think the Taliban were capable of this?
It could take years for a country to develop, especially after a series of wars. If America had not attacked Afghanistan, we could have seen whether the Taliban were successful or not.
, a spokesperson from the taliban is just about as credible as a spokesperson from the whitehouse.
Did you watch the video? In fact, do you know who was even speaking?
i think you mean The Fact is the taliban are another example of unwanted foreign interference in afghanistan
Well please do present evidence for this...FACT. x_x
The fact is NONE of us know who the Taliban are. The fact is none of us has ever met Taliban. The fact is none of us have experienced occupation under the Taliban. And Tyion is talking about some of those who have experience occupation under the Taliban.
Brother Tyrion did not even watch the video and there is a possibility he might change his mind after he watched the video. In fact, he has not been able to back up his claims about the stories he heard.
True, none of us have met the Taliban nor lived under the Taliban regime. Therefore, we rely on lectures, books, articles and documentaries to give us an idea. Watching the video is a good starting point...of course, you can decide whether you believe him or not.
Nor do we know whether they are actually fighting for their own people.
Who are they fighting for then?
That does not mean I have to support Taliban.
No one is telling you to support the Taliban. :x

I am utterly amused at how many of you speak on behalf of the afghans as if you were natives and surveyed its people directly of their wants.
Same here.
