About 1.5 million Afghans "elected" to return home when the Soviet backed goverment was ousted by the Mujahedin.........
In 1992 .........2 years before the Taliban.

The next wave of Afghan refugees to return from Pakistan included people who would eventually found the Taliban.

These particular Afghans had been bred on the Jihadi textbooks that the University Of Nebraska had produced for the Pakistani Madrasses(where these Afghans studied) to the tune of $50 million over a period of 10 years(1984-1994)...spanning 3 U.S administrations.

These returning Afghans united with the Pashtun religouse leaders from Khandahar .......and the Taliban was born...............

Other Afghan refugees were returning from Pakistan ....but not because the Taliban had restored order..........but because their standard of living in Pakistan where most worked on subsistence agricuture or the most meager of wages was becoming intolerable..........

And rh..........roughly 200 000 people were displaced within Afghanistan as they fled the advancing Taliban virus..........just ask the Hazara ethnic minorities as they were massacared by the Taliban.

At least another 170 000 fled Afghanistan back into Pakistan because of the ongoing conflict in 2001(before 9/11).The Taliban in true style even exacted costs from these fleeing refugees(for those who did not wish to join the Taliban army).............

Nice people that Bin Laden frequented ..........
As I said............the Taliban and Bin Laden did FUCK ALL for the people of Afghanistan........

And who gave the Taliban their power..............

I'll leave that for one Ahmad Shah Masood to tell us..........
"The assistance the Taliban was recieving directly from Pakistan and indirectly from the United States.Pakistan intervened from the outset and was engaged in helping the Taliban movement.Saudi Arabia also helped."
Ahmad Shah Masood
August 2001.

Looks like Masood read the script bang on!
And paid for it with his life.

Which begs the question...........

Why would Bin Laden want to overthrow the Saudi Royal family.........the same Saudi Royal family who had had financed and recognized the Taliban.........the same Taliban who were protecting Bin Laden............

Any answers...............

Quickly now.
