Americans are so confused about the "Taliban"...the Taliban are the people of south Afghanistan...they are called "Pashtoons".... They are a separate ethnic group from the northern Afghans ...who are Uzbeks...and Tajiks....
The Pashtoon 'historic homeland" lays on BOTH SIDES of the Afghan/Pakistan border in the south... The line was drawn by the British after the last Afghan war about 100 years ago...its called the Durant Line...see line It was arbitrary and separated the Pashtoons from their relatives now in Pakistan...and divided their historic homeland between the two countries...
The Pashtoons a/k/a "Taliban" are a simple rural Islamic people of little sophistication...They have been called "Muslim Hillbillies"...by some people... They have nothing that we want...and most of them are poor, uneducated and live in mud huts...and never travel far from their small villages...
THAT IS WHY WE MUST KILL THEM....!!

From link:
"The area in which the Durand Line lays has been inhabited by the indigenous Pakhtuns... since ancient time, at least since 500 B.C."
