So - what happened?

I dont mean that in a a$$hole way - really, what took a thriving community and turned it into the sh*thole it is today? Did the US always have its hands in this, or were there other things that started inner-war? My knowledge of this issue is very sparse...

The US fukked up that beautiful country and the Taliban are it's freedom fighters trying to regain it back

Most Muslim countries looked like that back then Egypt, Iran, Malaysia, etc. well the cities at least.

Saudi petrol dollars, Russian invasion, Western intervention, etc. are factors in which shaped what Afghanistan is today.

Really sucks to see such a backwards movement in development.

Especially terrible to see how subjugated women are now in comparison with just 40 years ago.
