71. And I wonder if you've ever read a bloody history book
Because that's STILL not true.

The Soviet involvement in Afghanistan ended in 1989. The civil war broke out in 1992. The Taliban formed in 1994, and took over the country in 1996. So unless they had a time machine, it was pretty damned hard for an organization that didn't exist yet to be the mujaheddin we supported in the bloody 1980s!
