40. So why the interest in what the Taliban did almost 20 years ago?

I certainly connected them in my mind. My response was initially a one post response but I split it up to address the question directly.

It is two separate issues but again, why the question then?


The human mind is made up to form connections.

We make constellations out of groups of stars that are millions of light years away from each other on completely different and unrelated planes. We make 2 dimensional line drawings from at least 3 dimensional dots on the sky.

People connect the "cold" directly to getting the Flu, when we know that viruses cause illness, not cold. Cold causes hypothermia and frost bite, but not Colds, Flu, Pneumonia, etc... yet people always say, "put your jacket on when you go outside or you'll catch a cold."

Can you answer why you chose to post this Taliban thing now?
