Am well aware of the history of what the Taliban were doing. Brutal group indeed.
What I meant was that the USA lambasted the Taliban on their supposed lax attempts to control heroin production as well as on their human rights records. 4 years later after the USA stepped in to "fix the problem" and heroin production is 4x that of what it was when they started.
