Afghanistan video
From The Nation

The Nation’s Christian Parenti goes inside Taliban communities and fighting groups in this excellent article and video, which document “the mounting frustration in Afghanistan with government corruption, military occupation and a seemingly endless war.”

not suprise, if you look at it, what Do American/Brtish Forces fight for? and what are the Taliban fight for? in nature law the attacker will only hit you at first then you fight back, so they are fighing back, the attackers can not keep attacking because no moral for it, and the taliban has moral because they are defending their land, so they will be victiours,
