Very, very funny. Assuming all of this is true and not the petty reporting of a defeated empire. Yeah, the Taliban are 'based' because it turns out anything can be based compared to the incompetent and cruel GAE. Unfortunately, the Taliban are still caveman-semites and it's likely Afghanistan will always be reflective of that. It's not our business to 'correct' this, not at all, but that's what the Taliban, like many other groups that worship semite left-overs, is.
