Whatever you choose to call this guerrilla organisation it arose
intially in reponse to American/Soviet interference in their country.

You're trying to move the goalposts. You didn't know what you were talking
about, it happens to us all, just admit it and move on.

And America was in there from the first training arming an arming them
for no good reason.

There was a perfectly good reason, it placed great stress on the Soviet
Union which as you might recall had been the self-announced enemy of the
U.S. and its allies for half a century. The Soviet failure in Afghanistan
was a significant factor in the implosion of the USSR.

Trying to say that the Muhajeen are not the Taliban is just semantics.

No, it isn't, the Taliban were formed as a private militia to battle other
such militias, it was part of a struggle for power. The Taliban fought
against some of the same groups that had fought the Soviets, to claim
they're all the same is absurd.

There's one thing for sure. Everything that you bloody Yanks interfere
in ends in disaster.

Remind us again how you defeated Nazi Germany and Japan all by yourselves.
And take a look at the former British Empire. Notice some of those nations
are sinkholes of corruption and oppression?

Your determination to blame every rainy day on America is not unusual, but
it's foolish.

The Nazis were pretty much defeated by the Russians. It cost them
20,000,000 young men (which they never recovered from) but that was
what really beat them. There just wasn't too much left to throw at the
west after that. It was brutal of course, mostly because Stalin killed
all their qualified Generals, but even so, that is a lot of men to
lose.
