The Spin
The Taliban's return to barbaric practices like stoning women and public executions proves Western analysts were naive to expect moderation. This radical jihadist experiment threatens global stability, fuels terrorism, and exposes Islamist inability to govern as millions face starvation and flee oppression.
Western media perpetuates propaganda by ignoring that the Taliban gained power through popular support after decades of failed occupation. AfghanAfghans cities peacefully transitioned because people wanted foreign humiliation to end. Stability improved under Taliban rule compared to the corrupt Western-imposed government.
