There was no lawlessness during the Reagan administration (well, there was like all armed resistances but not in the sense you're using it). It was still a resistance against the Soviets. It was during the civil war and after Soviet collapse (which largely happened during the Clinton administration) with waning US involvement that you're referring to.
People who don't understand the region shouldn't talk or make lies. I'm still waiting for you to respond to my post.

Also no one formed the "Taliban". It sprung up naturally across the country, un coordinated, by people appalled at the divergence from Islam. This movement to return to more traditional values and Pashtun pride would later be clumsily called the "Taliban"
But...........but...........Carter is a democrat!!! Tell me it isn't so!!! That timeline has to be a lie!!! It has to Ford's fault and Carter inherited that plan - it originated with the Ford administration!!! (Yeah, that's the ticket.)
Please tell us what YOU KNOW about the Taliban and the Mujahideen.

I have already responded to your post. You are just making general statements, please try refuting my post about the various factions that sprung up and which ones took control. You can't.

You have not responded to post 33.
Other than that, just about everything you said has been refuted over and over again.
