    It is their country, it is not my business if it is positive or negative. The fact that the US-backed government collapsed in two weeks while the Taliban withstood twenty years of war tells me that their government has more popular support among the people.

    I am not a practicing Muslim so I have my reservations but if the Afghans shared them then the Taliban wouldn’t have survived and retaken the government.

      if the Afghans shared [my reservations] then the Taliban wouldn’t have survived and retaken the government.

      You’re serious? “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”, the Talibans had many guns

        The US-backed government had bigger guns, 20 years in power and US-backing, they still failed. The barrel of a gun doesn’t give legitimacy, neither does a foreign military occupation, popular support does.
