there are very committed Afghan, Islamist patriots and they wouldn't willingly be part of such a thing.
Interesting, so these are the Afghans Unionist and you insist are not the Taliban and are going to "win" the war... Unlike fildel I believe the Taliban are very fucking for real and I seriously doubt the Taliban are going to let them "Afghan, Islamist patriots" run the country after the war.
Yes, the US created the Taliban. Hillary and a slew of US politicians admitted this on broadcast news in 2001. Yes, the Taliban are real. The CIA, Saudis and Brits worked diligently toward the Talibanization of Pakistan and Afghanistan since the late 1980s through the 1990s and are still funding the madrassah system with US taxpayers money as well as Saudi royals.
Taliban ideology is relatively new to both those countries and tribal regions and are still not the purely ideologically driven Islamic states which Saudi Arabia and Iran are today. It was never the intention of the vast majority of people in any of Iran, Pakistan or Afghanistan to have religious mullahs running their countries - but it was orchestrated by western world leaders and central planners operating from the shadows since the 1950s.
al-Qaeda, OTOH, is not real.
They'll throw them under the bus just like the North Vietnamese did the Viet Cong. an enemy of my eniemy is me friend until he's my enemy, again.
VietNam was actually the first point of entry into Asia for the US Military since the WW II era. The US OSS-CIA and US Military dictatorship have been meddling in Asia for a long time. US central planners like Zbigniew Brzezinski are long time embeded bureaucrats and central planners for the US Military dictatorship and fancy themselves modern day British imperial strategists in the mold of Halford Mackinder who dream of conquering Asia and hacking off pieces of it for the salivating corporate jackals waiting in the wings.
