We did not. We ignored the country until 9/11 because we recognized it to be a total shithole.

For frick's sake, the amount of misinformation in this thread is unbelievable.

Not true. The Shia-Sunni conflict has been going on for centuries. Only those countries who have moved away from radical Islam, such as Jordan, have progressed into a relatively modern, progressive, stable society.

Where radical Islam abounds, death and destruction follows.

this a complete load of shite. Complete.

As is the proposition that every member of the mujahideen became a card carrying Al-Qaeda member.

You must be completely unaware of the intractable ethnic and tribal divisions in Afghanistan which keep that country in a perpetual state of conflict. I bet 1/10 people commenting here have any idea who Ahmad Shas Massoud is.

You're going to get that look in a lot of countries, because they don't have blonde women.

Hell, they are amazed to see white people in general.

Go to India, you'll feel like a movie star.

Ignored?

No.

For one we hosted the Taliban in DC in 2001, and then there is this.

LINK we were in talks with them to hand over Bin Laden.


People we ignore don't get state visits.

There was a surprise visit to Washington, made by a Taliban envoy bearing a gift carpet for Bush.


maybe support was a big word, but had they handed over Bin Laden the Taliban would still run Afghanistan.

former Mujahadeen leader that opposed the taliban.

But does not take away from the point that we had diplomatic relations with the taliban. If we thought them so evil, why did we wait until 9/11 to take them out?
