Some people here get understanding of opponents from Hollywood film not reality
Apparently a non judgemental objective observation by CNN has set off some people whose understanding of bad guys comes from Hollywood films.
where the bad guys have to wear black, sit in dark rooms, mumble their words ominously, are never nice and only laugh ominously and can never experience joy. They walk over, punch a woman in the face then bomb an orphanage.
by this understanding histories favourite (and rightfully so) villains, the nazis, were never friendly. just ask British POWs especially officers or their families about that.
it makes sense given the jovial and euphoric nature of winning the war so fast that the Taliban could both chant death to america AND be friendly.
imagine hypothetically Americans did the same. in one day if we killed Osama, beat al Qaeda and were in the streets celebrating saying "we kill you basterd!". would these people not be friendly?
NO one is saying the Taliban is good or making judgement calls on their beliefs. crazy I know that a human being (no matter how horrendous and extreme) can feel joy and be friendly at times.
welcome to reality. I know it doesnt line up with the newest action movie you've seen but thats how it is
one person did praise the Taliban in American politics. can you guess which party?
"The Taliban are the only people building back better."
