Mr. Occam? more about him later.

My dear Yolanda: you are ranting about the fact that the US supported the Taliban (sic) (more about the word taliban later) regime.

Now my dear Yulanda (RY) your falsafa oh I forgot that you know no Arabic (Urdu may be?) your logic is defective.

Your are saying that:

1. America supported the Taliban (sic)

2. Because America supported the Taliban (sic) they came to power and defeated the Russians. (oh I forgot that Allah helps his believers is defeating non-believers. So which one was helping the taliban (sic) America or your Allah?)

3. The Taliban's regime was tyrannical.

4. Therefore it is the fault of America that the Taliban came to power and Amercia must be blamed for the fact that the Taliban (sic) was tyrannical.

This my dear Yolanda, and you must pardon me, is: circular reasoning.

The al-'aqli here (oh I forgot again that you know no Arabic. Urdu may be?) the logic here is:

1. Abul Qasim aka Muahmmad or is it his Allah told his followers to go out and fight the infidels in this case the Russians.

2. Islam as per Abul Qasim or is it his Allah is fascist and tyrannical.

3. America helps the Taliban (sic) and not your Allah.

4. The Taliban defeats the Russians because of infidel weapons and no angels here helping Muslims.

5. The Taliban regime is in power and it becomes tyrannical.

You can only blame Abul Qasim aka Muhammad or is it Allah and not America for the fact that the taliban (sic) regime was tyrannical and not the US.

It is all about Islam.

Mr. Occam? "never multiply entities unless necessary."

PS: The Afghanis corrupt an Arabic word which is talib or student and plural _talaba_ into the funny taliban word. So much for Arab imperialism.
