Afghanistan - Fourteen Years Later

It has been nine years since we entered Afghanistan.  Now, we are entering our tenth year.  We contine to fight the Taliban in the same way the Russians fought the Mujahideen did some twenty or thirty years ago.  Oh by the way , the Mujahideen evolved into the Taliban, later.  I said that the Russian’s would need to learn how to convert their chess abilities to match the technic used on a “Go” board.  The Mujahideen were the opposition to then Russian-back Afghan government.  The American and British government decided to back the Mujahdeen because MI-6 believed the Mujahideen were more open to our aid.  Therefore, we supported the rebel force with training (Britsh SAS units) and American weapons (Stygier missiles against Russian helicopters).  The British SAS is a super, special force unit (they make James Bond and the MI-6 look like beginners).  Mujahideen eventually evolved into the Taliban.  Whether they are Mujahideen or Taliban, they simply changed they weapon’s crosshair from the Russians to the Americans.  While the American and British governments were training and equiping weapons, our citizen population was giving birth to the children and grandchildren who would eventually fight them twenty or thiry years, later.  How about “what goes around, comes around”?
