The Taliban don't have the technological devices/advancments that NATO/US has, so how do you expect them to avoid the civilian deaths but in most suicide bombings or attacks they would kill or injure their target, i know its wrong to kill innocent civilians but at least they're doing the best they can to avoid civilian casulties. NATO/US should get most of the blame because most of the time they know who they're targeting but sometimes they commit mistakes on purpose and no one gets charged with anything, 1 week ago NATO/US killed 4 afghan soldiers by accident, honestly how can you make a stupid mistake like that, these soldiers must have been blind or something. If more technology was provided to the Taliban, the civilian casulties rate commited by them would go down big time.
Mossomo its really hard to succeed in Afghanistan because the Afghan government is full of corrupted politicans and criminals, most of the politicans in Karzai's government are responsible for the rapes, murders, robbings and they were also responsible for killing up to 60,000 innocent people in Kabul alone back from 1992-96. You have Karzai's brother who makes 90% from the opium production and still gets paid a lot by the CIA, you have minors in Bagram jail who get tortured and cant have a lawyer, you also have innocent people who still get tortured in normal Afghan jails, half of these afghani police officers are drug addicts who smoke Opium and Hasish, while 15% of Afghanistan's army are drug addicts, how can the U.S. be that dumb by funding them, this would get the U.S. nowhere because you're supporting people who are not willing to fight for their country, who are responsible for bringing misery to Afghanistan and are hated by their own people.
Thats why the Afghani Taliban gains a lot of support around the country because their fighters are commited to their tasks, a lot of them are against drugs, thats why the ordinary citizens join them, or even police officers sometimes. The Afghani Taliban cant really get eliminated, because the fighters who fight for them are ordinary citizens like me and you, who are against the occupation, they're just there to take revenge from the horrible acts these NATO/US forces commited in their villages and they get supported by most Afghans, thats why they operate in 80% of the country. Thats why the US/NATO are begging these fighters to stop fighting because they're gaining ground and win a lot of support.
Im not being a supporter of Taliban, but im just trying to show that the Afghani Taliban are getting a lot of support by Afghans, if a lot of Afghans hated the Taliban like how the media make it sound then the Taliban would have been gone 5-6 years ago.
