No, no really, the Afgan government at the time was communist "Leninism" and obviously the Muslims didn't like that so much!

I wonder what this country would look like today had the Muslim extremists not won the war backed by the USA. Communism or not, surely it had to be better than those ######ed Taliban!
And no 9-11 and closer to home no 160 Canadian soldiers killed?
It can be spun a million ways but the fact remains, religion is the route of most evil on this planet..especially in that part of the world.
