Because the Taliban are funded by the US and British. All the Taliban in Afghanistan are pakistanies. They are there to destroy Afghanistan not to bring peace. Everything that you see on tv about the Taliban are fake. There is no such thing as the Taliban, they are all pakistanies killing innocent Pashtun people. I am not even an afghan but I know what the truth is regarding Afghanistan.

Why did the UK join the afghan war?
Afghanistan War is a direct result of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The attacks were caused by Al Qaeda terrorists, who were based in Afghanistan. The Taliban is a radical Islamic group and was the ruling government of Afghanistan at the time. The Taliban refused to allow the US and our allies into Afghanistan to capture or kill the Al Qaeda terrorists, so we declared war on them. We toppled the Taliban regime and nearly crushed Al Qaeda when the Bush administration pushed for the invasion of Iraq. However, the Taliban and Al Qaeda have recovered over the years while our government has been pre-occupied with Iraq. That pretty much sums up why we are fighting in Afghanistan and why we are still fighting there after 7 years.

How does the taliban effect the people in Afghanistan?
The problem with the Taliban is they hold a very extreme view of Islam, and they try to impose it on everyone, even those who might not share that view. For example, Islam does NOT say women cannot study, nor does it say women cannot go to school. But the Taliban are opposed to women going to school, and have burned down schools and even attacked female students. Further, the Taliban have expressed their opposition to popular music, and do not want any kind of popular culture (including television programs) to be broadcast; they believe only religious studies are permitted. Some Afghans, fed up with corrupt local governments, at first supported the Taliban, because people believed the Taliban would be honest, since they were very religious. But the Taliban proved to be eager to hold on to power, and willing to kill those who opposed them.
What are facts about the taliban?
(Introduction) Afghanistan, a troublesome country, struggle`s everyday to put an end to the production of the illegal drug, opium, that is being produced everyday under the Taliban`s control. The Taliban plays a major role in the continuance of the illegal opium production by supporting, encouraging, and demanding the continuance of the opium production, which leads to violence with the innocent people if they don't corporate with the Taliban.(Background History) The Taliban, a radically militant Islamic movement appeared in late 1994, and controlled 90 percent of Afghanistan between 1996-2001. The term "Taliban" comes from the Persian and Pashtu plural of the Arabic word Talib (Seeker of knowledge). Subsequently, they banned female access to education and employment, and imposed draconian Islamic laws that called for severe punishments, including the stoning death of proven adulterers and the amputating of thieves' hands and feet. Despite their strict beliefs and anti- drug profiling, the Taliban could not resist using opium to fund its activities, underlining the movement`s poor understanding and interpretation of Islamic law. The steepest challenge is the burgeoning drug trade, which funds not just the Taliban attacks, but has created a general climate of lawlessness throughout the country with violence. Opium has been cultivated and consumed by human beings since at least the third millennium. Afghanistan has been affected by opium since the twentieth century, when opium was spread throughout the Golden Crescent (Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan).Due to this, Afghanistan is accounting for 93 percent of the world's opium production. (International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, and Reins, Thomas)(Supporting) Over 18 years of internal warfare has left the country with extremepoverty, massive unemployment and little hope of an economy being rebuilt inthe near future, but The Taliban supports the production of opium by gaining thetrust of the farmers and civilians who grow the opium by giving out food, money,and cloths during the holy holiday of Ramadan. Once the Taliban gains the trustof the farmers and civilians, the Taliban can ask them to pretty much dowhatever they want for them. The lack of action to stop production is suspectedto be due to the opium industry's financial support to the Taliban militia. In orderto support the protection of the farmers and the opium, the Taliban buysweapons with some of the money they made from selling opium, to give to theirfellow Taliban to kill any militia. The farmers only see the money rolling in as theirpoppy crops disappear in wagons, which is promised by the Taliban becausethe farmers don't want to see the end result of their crop. (Willems, Peter.)(Encourages) One way the Taliban encourages the farmers to make opium forthem is they tell the farmers that if you switch your crops from wheat to opium,you can make more money and support your family better, but although the motivation behind the Taliban decision to allow the opium industry to flourish is unclear, what motivates the farmers is obvious. Over 18 years of internal warfare has left the country with extreme poverty, massive unemployment and little hope of an economy being rebuilt in the near future. The Taliban have also encouraged the farmers and civilians who grow the opium by telling them that they will protect them from the militia. All of this seems to work due to the fact that Afghanistan is accounting for 93 percent of the world`s opium production. (Willems, Peter.)(Demands) The Taliban demands the production of opium because without the money that they make from selling the opium, the Taliban wouldn't have as much money as they do today. Without the money, the Taliban cannot buy weapons, recruit new members, or even pay the farmers who grow the opium in the first place. If a farmer refuses to grow the opium, depending on how bad the Taliban need it, the Taliban will demand that they grow the opium for them or they will burn down their other crops or house, beat them, or even kill them. Because of this, most of the farmers do corporate with the Taliban because they don't want to be injured or killed. The harsh demands that the Taliban ask from the farmers do tire them out, which leads to the farmers not producing enough opium to fit the Taliban`s needs.(Conclusion) From this, Afghanistan struggles to put an end to the production of the illegal drug, opium, that is being produced under the Taliban`s control. The Taliban plays a major role in the continuance of the illegal opium production by supporting, encouraging, and demanding the continuance of the opium production. Only we can hope that one day, this will all come to an end.this was made by. the KoreanMaster ( Paul Wierzbicki) SO NO ONE COPY IT!
When did the US and other nations invade Afghanistan and Iraq?
The US and other nations invaded Afghanistan and Iraq shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The US invaded Afghanistan first because that's where the Al Queada terrorists who masterminded and executed the Sept 11 attacks, were primarily living and conducting their terrost activities from. The Taliban who were at that time running the Afghanistan government gave shelter, protection and permission to Al Queda to live and operate in Afghanistan. Initially the US demanded the Taliban give Al Queda members to the US, when the Taliban refused, the US invaded Afghanistan to eliminate the harsh fanatical Taliban government (and restore democracy to the Afghan people) and capture or kill Al Queda. Shortly therafter, the US invaded Iraq when President Bush was concerned for the US' safety after Saddam Hussein kicked out the international nuclear and chemical weapons investigators. Iraq refused entry to the international communities nuclear and chemical investigators and caused concern globally because no one knew whether or not Iraq actually did have weapons of mass destruction ("WMD"). The US intelligence agencies concluded that Iraq did have WMD. Although this intelligence proved to be inaccurate. It is better to be safe than sorry, and thus it made sense for the US to invade Iraq. If Saddam Hussein would have just come clean and let the nuclear inspectors in to investigate, the whole Iraq war could have been avoided.
Will the talibans kill us?
No they won't. It depends on who "us" is, but generally, no. The Taliban have a local interest in Afghanistan and Pakistan. If you do not live in either of those countries, you are generally safe from the Taliban.
Why do the taliban kill Americans?
The Taliban only invaded because Al Qaeda was based in Afghanistan. In fact, the Taliban never wanted war with the U.S., but Al Qaeda did, so they provoked us into invading with 9/11. So when we invaded, the Taliban had no choice but to fight us. In order to get the upper hand, we allied with the Northern Alliance (they're the current govt. in Afghanistan. Then the Taliban made themselves disappear for a few years (don't ask me how) and now they fight so they can gain control of Afghanistan.

What is the name of the strict Islamic group that used to control Afghanistan?
A Radical Muslim group that rose to power in Afghanistan in the 1990s was the Taliban. This group says that they are Muslims, but in reality they are not. They are trying to establish a Muslim Caliphate by force, killing innocent civilians in the process. This goes against the principles of Islam, where killing is a major sin in the eyes of God (Allah).
What was the reason why Iraq at tact the world trade center?
Iraq did no such thing. The attacks were carried out by an organization called the Taliban. This is a groupd of religious Muslim extreamest who kill in the name of their god. This is a rouge organization and is not hosted or supported by the country of Iraq. The Taliban's reason for attacking the towers was to bring death to the infidel (western civilization). Edit: I'm sorry to tell that also the Taliban did no such thing. The Taliban were and are a group of Muslim extremists, but they were reigning Afghanistan. The Attacks were in fact carried out by Members of the Al Qaida, a decentralised network of also Muslim extremists. When the USA invaded Afghanistan, their reason was that the Taliban gave home to Al Qaida members in their country, hence the misunderstanding.
