It sounds wacky if you’re on a mostly American or corporate media diet these last twenty years, but the Taliban has been fighting terrorists in their area of late. The situation in the middle east has failed to be as simple as GW Bush would have had us believe.

I don’t support them obviously, but I at least recognize that this isn’t really as zany and ironic as a typical “not the Onion” headline.

Looking forward to all the Putin and Xi fans having to explain to us how the Taliban has been unfairly maligned by Western propaganda.
