The Taliban is not a terrorist organization. The Taliban was the government of the country of Afghanistan before we invaded it, and it is the government of the country of Afghanistan after we've left. "Terrorism" isn't a euphemism for killing US soldiers. If they're invading your country, the proper word is "patriotism."



The Taliban is both. I agree that killing invading foreign soldiers on your own soil isn't terrorism, but that's not where the Taliban stops. Plenty of attacks on their own populace over the last two decades.
