Colonel Trautman's Commentary on Afghans (1988)

This is an interrogation scene from Rambo 3, which came out in 1988 near the end of Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. In the movie, which I recommend, Afghans rebelling against Soviet occupiers were the heroes. How times change!

Maybe Americans could give Taliban some kind of reservation as Indians have in USA. There they could have their own Sharia law state. In my opinion the best candidate for such hellish regime would be Chad in Africa. Of course children under 21 and women wouldn't be allowed to live there. Only man over 21 who have knowledge of Koran.

@BOOSTRED I think that any belief system worth its salt - religion or another ideal, like Western democracy - has such honourable principles at heart. The problem comes from the people who miss that part of it, be they in the form of Al Qaeda terrorists or Mai Lai style overzealous soldiers.

Al-Qaeda is a made up group meant to confuse you into thinking, that they are a group of Wahhabi Arabs. 9/11 was a fraud, as a Muslim i can tell you that it is against our religion to attack innocent people, women, children, men, are not to be treated as soldiers in a war, they were innocents.

Three buildings fell on 9/11, two were hit by planes, but all were brought down with explosives.

Architects and engineers have formed a coalition to bring light to these facts!

The afghans are still good people, capable of heroism. The Taliban are not representative of the afghans. The taliban are no the same as the afghan Muj of the 80s, that was a popular movement of national resistance. Just because most pashtun tribes are too afraid of the taliban to support the US doesn't mean they want to be ruled by the taliban. Plus even the taliban is not the same as Al Qaeda, AQ is radical arab wahabbis, not afghans.
