These people he is making fun of have kicked the backsides of most superpowers over the ages. Now America is buried in the cemetery called Afghanistan.

Disappointed to see that Michael Moore took the effort to find out so much about this issue, in a way to try to solve it, but it seemed like he put most of his effort into making fun of it... Something that I would say should be taking very seriously
In all seriousness… I can imagine some Taliban leaders saw this clip and it hurt their ego so much it caused them to unite with Al Qaida to send a message to us westerners that they are a force to be taken seriously and not ridiculed….
It's called social satire. Acknowledging a real situation, identifying the absurdities that exist, then amplifying and exploiting them ....sometimes useful to make something unpleasant more palatable. The Daily Show is an example of this....Presenting a critical eye while utilizing comic value to draw people in. Sometimes the critical component is lost on lazy minds. I personally like the over-the-top approach South Park uses to address some social issues....Also really liked the way Colbert portrayed himself as a conservative on The Colbert Report. Now, as a late night host, I literally cannot stand the guy. Borat is good, look for something called The Yes Men.
@@timadams940 I get social satire. I just found the simple office, in Queens nonethless, to be a very culturally different path from what most nations would do. Not absurd as it is funny.
Extremist have always had a safe home in the USA. All cultures, creeds and colors. Thousands of people walked by that office back then and didn't even know what a Taliban was... Reasonably so, as our culture back in the day responded less to things that didn't affect us directly. We lived vicariously through the lives of few vs the entire World Wide Web and information was only distributed by select outlets.
@@timadams940 This comment is everything I hate about the modern liberal media, and I'm a progressive. Satire has proven only to misinform the non-elite social classes. When it's South Park, it's the kids who parrot dumb shit for the next 20 years. When it's Borat, it's adults who end up hating the narrator and completely obfuscating the narrative. Satire is the worst, worst teacher.
@@zisha01 You could not be more mistaken. The reason that these topics are even in the political debate, (except those issues that affect people directly, such as gun violence or abortion) is because people learn about their existence through a comic medium. Some level of informativeness is better than none at all. Very few Americans knew what the Bhopal Disaster was before the Yes Men did their shtick (and even then, the knowledge of their films is limited). This stuff provokes some level of thought and ingestion...but there will always be the dimwits who only parrot the comic elements (Cartman, who is always portrayed as the jackass) and not consider the reasonable outlook (Stan and Kyle who are well-rounded and emotionally developed). I tend to have a mixed/ somewhat pessimistic view of people in general, I know they too often have a lack of curiosity about the world, and choose to keep themselves on a pretty narrow bandwidth of information. This tendency has only worsened with a channel of "infotainment" specifically tailored to meet and reinforce your own personal belief system. This feedback loop creates a population of dimwits along THE ENTIRE political spectrum. And even much of the comedic shows and late night tv monologues (which are now ALL pretty intolerable) all have an overwhelming agenda that drowns any existing element of humor that might still be derived... Professional comedians such as Chapelle, Rock, Burr and the like have the power and ability to challenge assumptions, biases and narrowness through their style of empathy and hilarious but brutal truths. This is why they are so unwelcome on college campuses. I certainly don't claim to have all the answers, but I do feel that the best way to respond to the absurd, self righteous simplicities of the likes of Tucker Carlson is through humor.

Sad to say but it's over the Panjshir has finally fallen there's still pockets of resistance they might be able to wage an insurgency for years to come but this fight is lost I hope with all my heart I'm wrong but everything is pointing to the Taliban taking total control of the Panjshir within days especially with air support from Pakistan
@@davemeads859 you seem to think the taliban are buddy-buddy with pakistan,but the truth is they are distrustful of them,I would go so far and say they actually hate them,the former ambassador to pakistan wrote a book about how untrustworthy the Pakistani are and how they sold them out to the Americans,the title of the is book is my life with the taliban,and assuming they they are "friendly" with the taliban and use that term loosely they wouldn't be stupid enough to give "air support",I'm guessing you watched some indian channel that has its source with the nrf,which also claimed that Tajikistan is supplying them with ammunition, guns and reinforcements which is impossible since the government literally said they won't interfere in other countries affair and Russia would probably not like that either.
According to The Intellectual Dark Web, I'm a huge fan of the Taliban. The question to them isn't whether or not liberals love the Taliban, but WHY we love the Taliban, and they've figured it out. Jordan Peterson and Peter Boghossian psychoanalyzed us. It's because we're weak and feminine and the Taliban is strong and masculine and we admire and yearn for this domination over our women.
Afghan women are 10x more polyamorous than their men and cant get that workplace is no nightclub. They don’t even let their marriage get in the way. That’s why they keep losing their rights. Nothing to do with domination. Western women aren’t that out of control. The situation of men in the west has very little to do with being weak and feminine. Otherwise, they would have stopped being sexual predators and seeing relationships/marriages as retirement homes. Btw, I am no feminist.
I can smuggle you into Afghanistan if you really love the taliban but I wouldn’t promise to get you out before they set you on fire let me know when your ready to go just dig up 10 grand and it’s done deal
Wish people would bother to understand Afghanistan's history. Britain never lost a war in Afghanistan, over the course of a hundred years of frequent conflict, nor did Russia or America for that matter. What nobody ever succeeded with was occupation and that has to do with geography and geopolitical influence from outside.
So what is your definition of loosing a war? Because I would say it is "leaving the territory you previously occupied because it is too costly to keep it/take it back".
@@JM-mh1pp You'd have to do some background reading on the "Great Game" as it was referring to. Afghanistan never mattered to the Raj, it was/is a landlocked buffer state between empire's. Never really had a national identity, a hodge podge of ethnicities, tribes and religion's, at least then. Britain tried and failed to occupy and most people know the story of British forces retreat from Kabul in 1842. But what isn't explained is that the war didn't end there. Britain went back, exacted retribution and defeated the regime that treacherously broke the agreement and installed a corruptible administration. That became the norm from that point over a hundred years, two more wars and many individual punitive expeditions. Policy was "butcher and bolt", that worked. Apparently nobody at the Pentagon reads much.
@@JM-mh1pp everything is relative did the allies loose because Germany and Japan weren’t occupied by us Why did we go there in the first place? It definitely wasn’t to stay
@@myleskennedy7733 Both Germany and Japan WAS occupied by allies, then allies installed new governments which beat down all opposition into submission and became both de facto and de iure leaders of nations.

Since I'm muslim, I can maybe give it a shot to explain to you. So from an Islamic perspective, the pure Islam, pictures and TV and all that fall into that category are "innovations". These are not permitted in Islam. There's no simple way to put this to you. Of course the criticisms and insults are bound to follow my statements, but a little introspection and truthfulness can also explain Islam's stance on innovations like TV. What has TV given to the world? Slotting in an educational channel in between Baywatch and 50 shades of grey, is hardly an effective answer to the way young minds are being shaped. If these things weren't so bad, then why the need for PG18 SNLV warnings? In which way has TV made the world better? Except for highly paid actors and actresses, who don't even live or walk amongst the ordinary folk. I could go on, you can engage me in a debate, without insulting Islam or it's prophet and I will try my best to answer your questions. Thank you.
@@iqbalmohamed5128 I believe if they had tools to ban those episodes they will ban.. TV, Media and all things are a double edged sword can be used for good or bad
Well... it could be argued that satire can be "in the eye of the beholder". To you, it may be a brilliant dissection of the foibles and failings of another culture- to someone else it may just seem like an insult. Part of it probably depends on if you are punching up, or punching down.
@@songOmatic I would only submit that maybe (admittedly optimistically) they might have learned that even the dictates (hadith) of the Prophet might have to face certain modern realities.
Correct. When Michael does it, it's lost. When South Park, The Colbert Report, Borat does it, it's all lost. Maybe satire is actually a really really poor teacher, and media figures should stop using it.

I watched a Russian film about the war with Afghanistan, and one of the characters said that, in History, no one has ever won a war against Afghanistan.
That is true. They don't care how long it takes, how many lives are lost. They just keep fighting. I remember having a conversation while on the city bus back in 2007, and, I talked about how we would lose in Afghanistan. NO ONE has ever beaten them. It's lame that their system is such trash. But, they don't give up. We should've never been there in the first place.
Ok 👌 I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Democrats community to our society. I love driving down there streets and seeing the American flag waving so proudly in every yard. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighborhoods family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. You can witness this by their strict adherence to our local and Federal laws. Their commitment to academic excellence en-riches our schools and services as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as people. Just watching their Special kind of Science change our society is simply amazing. I mean,who ever thought there are 187 Genders? Real estate values are fueled by the mix of Democrat Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of all they have achieve through their enthusiasm for self improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature.

Michael, you are an influential American Icon, you can do much better than this. Help us get the Taliban to petition the Chinese government to have the classrooms full of Uighurs focused on the skill-sets necessary to build state of the Mosques in Muslim areas of China and Afghanistan. This will broaden the horizons of both countries.
My understanding of fundamentalists of any persuasion is that they see their system/religion is compromising with the modern world and want to take it back to what they think is the original state of the religion Trying to transplant a state of mind that is 1 or 2 thousand years old to the present time is doomed to failure.
Fundamentalism is usually reaction to uncertainty. Recently we could see it in Brexit. Thousands of people going backwards in "good old times" (strong nationalism) trying to find safety in uncertain situation around. I hope Afganistans will get their country back from talibans.
Michael,. The Amish don't have TVs either, I understand. And they don't have guns either, and I doubt they would ever have a use for either. FUN-dementalism at its best.
Precisely the mind set of the "Puritans" who arrived in New England in 1620 to found their own little Puristan. Their cult religion didn't survive, but their sense of persecution and zeal for forcing others to their will, did.
@Bernard Ray The Army Corps of Engineers built roads and bridges and schools and infrastructure for 20 years. Things that we need here now. Why would the backward country people stop them?
Except they really didn't. They simply retreated and waited for America to hemorrhage money to the point where it was politically impossible to continue. The Taliban were classic guerilla fighters, and had no means to match the US in any conventional sense, but the strictures of 4th generation warfare do not require military might, only patience. In every conventional engagement, the Taliban lost, basically- but this is only a demonstration of the utility of a Fabian policy. You can win every battle, and still lose a war, which is precisely what happened.

I'm a 60 year old, beautiful (in the most important ways) black woman in 2021. I want to say to Michael Moore... thank you.
Oh oh next come electricity to Afghanistan

This makes me uncomfortable. The situation is so serious ...
In all seriousness… I can imagine some Taliban leaders saw this clip and it hurt their ego so much it caused them to unite with Al Qaida to send a message to us westerners that they are a force to be taken seriously and not ridiculed….
Thank you ! I love all the flowers 💐 hope your cutie dog is doing ok and is happy 😊
Not a joke... This Taliban guy was their "Ambassador." That building in Queens wasn't a joke either. (I'm so confused right now. ) 🤔
It's called social satire. Acknowledging a real situation, identifying the absurdities that exist, then amplifying and exploiting them ....sometimes useful to make something unpleasant more palatable. The Daily Show is an example of this....Presenting a critical eye while utilizing comic value to draw people in. Sometimes the critical component is lost on lazy minds. I personally like the over-the-top approach South Park uses to address some social issues....Also really liked the way Colbert portrayed himself as a conservative on The Colbert Report. Now, as a late night host, I literally cannot stand the guy. Borat is good, look for something called The Yes Men.
@@timadams940 I get social satire. I just found the simple office, in Queens nonethless, to be a very culturally different path from what most nations would do. Not absurd as it is funny.
Extremist have always had a safe home in the USA. All cultures, creeds and colors. Thousands of people walked by that office back then and didn't even know what a Taliban was... Reasonably so, as our culture back in the day responded less to things that didn't affect us directly. We lived vicariously through the lives of few vs the entire World Wide Web and information was only distributed by select outlets.
@@timadams940 This comment is everything I hate about the modern liberal media, and I'm a progressive. Satire has proven only to misinform the non-elite social classes. When it's South Park, it's the kids who parrot dumb shit for the next 20 years. When it's Borat, it's adults who end up hating the narrator and completely obfuscating the narrative. Satire is the worst, worst teacher.
@@zisha01 You could not be more mistaken. The reason that these topics are even in the political debate, (except those issues that affect people directly, such as gun violence or abortion) is because people learn about their existence through a comic medium. Some level of informativeness is better than none at all. Very few Americans knew what the Bhopal Disaster was before the Yes Men did their shtick (and even then, the knowledge of their films is limited). This stuff provokes some level of thought and ingestion...but there will always be the dimwits who only parrot the comic elements (Cartman, who is always portrayed as the jackass) and not consider the reasonable outlook (Stan and Kyle who are well-rounded and emotionally developed).
I tend to have a mixed/ somewhat pessimistic view of people in general, I know they too often have a lack of curiosity about the world, and choose to keep themselves on a pretty narrow bandwidth of information. This tendency has only worsened with a channel of "infotainment" specifically tailored to meet and reinforce your own personal belief system. This feedback loop creates a population of dimwits along THE ENTIRE political spectrum. And even much of the comedic shows and late night tv monologues (which are now ALL pretty intolerable) all have an overwhelming agenda that drowns any existing element of humor that might still be derived...
Professional comedians such as Chapelle, Rock, Burr and the like have the power and ability to challenge assumptions, biases and narrowness through their style of empathy and hilarious but brutal truths. This is why they are so unwelcome on college campuses.
I certainly don't claim to have all the answers, but I do feel that the best way to respond to the absurd, self righteous simplicities of the likes of Tucker Carlson is through humor.
But why do you always lose if you are superior in everything and are the best
Thanks. Needed that laugh as I grow concerned for the resistance forces in Panjshir.
Don't worry anymore. They lost
@@canadapapers Thanks to Pakistani air support and Pakistani servicemen in Talibani garb. Canada is blessed with Pakistani mullahs with weekly ‘peace’ cermons
@@nand3576 no I think they just surrendered.
Sad to say but it's over the Panjshir has finally fallen there's still pockets of resistance they might be able to wage an insurgency for years to come but this fight is lost I hope with all my heart I'm wrong but everything is pointing to the Taliban taking total control of the Panjshir within days especially with air support from Pakistan
@@davemeads859 you seem to think the taliban are buddy-buddy with pakistan,but the truth is they are distrustful of them,I would go so far and say they actually hate them,the former ambassador to pakistan wrote a book about how untrustworthy the Pakistani are and how they sold them out to the Americans,the title of the is book is my life with the taliban,and assuming they they are "friendly" with the taliban and use that term loosely they wouldn't be stupid enough to give "air support",I'm guessing you watched some indian channel that has its source with the nrf,which also claimed that Tajikistan is supplying them with ammunition, guns and reinforcements which is impossible since the government literally said they won't interfere in other countries affair and Russia would probably not like that either.
According to The Intellectual Dark Web, I'm a huge fan of the Taliban. The question to them isn't whether or not liberals love the Taliban, but WHY we love the Taliban, and they've figured it out. Jordan Peterson and Peter Boghossian psychoanalyzed us. It's because we're weak and feminine and the Taliban is strong and masculine and we admire and yearn for this domination over our women.
They should take effeminate with them too..
If you admire them that much why don’t you go over there and meet them but show them your feminine self😉
Afghan women are 10x more polyamorous than their men and cant get that workplace is no nightclub. They don’t even let their marriage get in the way. That’s why they keep losing their rights. Nothing to do with domination. Western women aren’t that out of control. The situation of men in the west has very little to do with being weak and feminine. Otherwise, they would have stopped being sexual predators and seeing relationships/marriages as retirement homes. Btw, I am no feminist.
I can smuggle you into Afghanistan if you really love the taliban but I wouldn’t promise to get you out before they set you on fire let me know when your ready to go just dig up 10 grand and it’s done deal
@@R2ttz5 he wants to be a Talibunny
Wish people would bother to understand Afghanistan's history. Britain never lost a war in Afghanistan, over the course of a hundred years of frequent conflict, nor did Russia or America for that matter. What nobody ever succeeded with was occupation and that has to do with geography and geopolitical influence from outside.
Great point
So what is your definition of loosing a war?
Because I would say it is "leaving the territory you previously occupied because it is too costly to keep it/take it back".
@@JM-mh1pp You'd have to do some background reading on the "Great Game" as it was referring to. Afghanistan never mattered to the Raj, it was/is a landlocked buffer state between empire's. Never really had a national identity, a hodge podge of ethnicities, tribes and religion's, at least then. Britain tried and failed to occupy and most people know the story of British forces retreat from Kabul in 1842. But what isn't explained is that the war didn't end there. Britain went back, exacted retribution and defeated the regime that treacherously broke the agreement and installed a corruptible administration. That became the norm from that point over a hundred years, two more wars and many individual punitive expeditions. Policy was "butcher and bolt", that worked. Apparently nobody at the Pentagon reads much.
@@JM-mh1pp everything is relative did the allies loose because Germany and Japan weren’t occupied by us Why did we go there in the first place? It definitely wasn’t to stay
@@myleskennedy7733 Both Germany and Japan WAS occupied by allies, then allies installed new governments which beat down all opposition into submission and became both de facto and de iure leaders of nations. This is called a win.
If however you retreat and government which you backed folds like house of cards...you lost.
We need Sally back to appeal to us to give again. More than ever.
No they don't. Hell, they murder people who watch TV over there.
Actually, if the Taliban had Baywatch, that would probably solve a lot of problems.
Actually, if the Americans "hadn't" haad Baywatch, that would probably have solved "all" the problems!
the talibans love mcgyver and of course the teletubbies

I hope Afganistans will get rid of talibans.
Keep dreaming
They had since the late 80s to try it . So what does that tell you
I didn’t know this was a fucking joke. So next time Michael Moore pretends to care remember this video
No one was laughing 2 years later. And certainly the Afghan people weren't.
How money you would save there

The Awful Truth was BRILLIANT a television show, Michael. It’s too bad America hates intelligent T.V. shows, because yours was funny, sharp, and really made you think.
Love your stuff, Mike! ✌🏼🇺🇸
I think it would be worth hearing why they have a problem with TV.
Since I'm muslim, I can maybe give it a shot to explain to you. So from an Islamic perspective, the pure Islam, pictures and TV and all that fall into that category are "innovations". These are not permitted in Islam. There's no simple way to put this to you. Of course the criticisms and insults are bound to follow my statements, but a little introspection and truthfulness can also explain Islam's stance on innovations like TV.
What has TV given to the world? Slotting in an educational channel in between Baywatch and 50 shades of grey, is hardly an effective answer to the way young minds are being shaped. If these things weren't so bad, then why the need for PG18 SNLV warnings?
In which way has TV made the world better? Except for highly paid actors and actresses, who don't even live or walk amongst the ordinary folk. I could go on, you can engage me in a debate, without insulting Islam or it's prophet and I will try my best to answer your questions. Thank you.
I believe they were against the movies and those hyper sexual stuff and they couldn't ban it so they banned TV altogether
@@iqbalmohamed5128
I believe if they had tools to ban those episodes they will ban.. TV, Media and all things are a double edged sword can be used for good or bad
You gave us just TVs and we gave you plenty of videos for you and your generations to come, to see and enjoy.
I just read the comments. Wow.
Clearly the concept of 'satire' is lost on many cultures.
Well... it could be argued that satire can be "in the eye of the beholder". To you, it may be a brilliant dissection of the foibles and failings of another culture- to someone else it may just seem like an insult. Part of it probably depends on if you are punching up, or punching down.
@@leeviajero2716 Fair.
But I think we're allowed to punch the Taliban. Metaphorically at least.
@@songOmatic I would only submit that maybe (admittedly optimistically) they might have learned that even the dictates (hadith) of the Prophet might have to face certain modern realities.
Correct. When Michael does it, it's lost. When South Park, The Colbert Report, Borat does it, it's all lost. Maybe satire is actually a really really poor teacher, and media figures should stop using it.
Is it the trailer for your new documentary MM ?
Back when “the taliban” humor seemed whimsical. Not sure how I feel about this.
Why so politically-correct?
@@coimbralaw ha. ha. good one.
I grew up without TV (my parents did not want one) and know what a blessing that is. All of my brothers as well as my father had a lot of hobbies and all of my brothers turned their hobbies into their jobs, including me.
'Bless Roger Moore for giving us the gift of TV'
Seriously man ..
he's such a dork in a good way. I wish he'd make more documentaries. I love all his work!
Less ridicule and more respect might benefit all.
Couldn't have said it better.. Thank you.
I think this is suppose to show not how sad it is they can't watch TV, but how sad it is that they are made to think for themselves Not Main Stream Media.
@@mikkimikki5376 It's a miracle that the renaissance and enlightenment happened without television, right?
/sarcasm off/
@@Kavala76 the same people who ban tv today would burn books in the time of renaissance. They want to indoctrinate you and it is easier to do without outside influence.

When Peter Griffin becomes a documentary maker...
2021’s drop-bundle: A flat-panel TV, solar panels, satellite telecom/tech hookup, and an antenna back-up. The panel & satellite telecom /tech could also support long distance learning…🤔
And manual book in English and Chinese
That’s how we won East Germany & most of Eastern Europe. Satellite TV showed them the other side.
So, did you actually get an interview with Roger in your movie Roger and me? I heard you did but chose to not include that.
5:05 Sally Struthers trying her damndest not to crack up.
I thought you had more about you M M. Really disappointed.
I like Michael Moore and the short film was humorous. But this is really in poor taste as the Afghan people are suffering greatly. More than any of us could imagine or endure. The oppression the Taliban places on the people is not a laughing matter and we should feel ashamed to laugh about it.
Yes I agree with you my heart goes out to the people of Afghanistan we can't even imagine what they're going through.
The proplem that who believes Jesus is God and son of God and holy spirit will never understand that taliban they are the afghans ppl they present the majority of the afghan ppl
Did you people not see the date that this was made come on boneheads
@@genetilghman6314 Yes Bonehead, we saw the date of when it was done. What's the difference from 20 years ago? The Afghan people were suffering greatly at that time as well, and it wasn't funny then Bonehead. Or perhaps it was funny to a Bonehead.
I watched a Russian film about the war with Afghanistan, and one of the characters said that, in History, no one has ever won a war against Afghanistan.
That is true. They don't care how long it takes, how many lives are lost. They just keep fighting. I remember having a conversation while on the city bus back in 2007, and, I talked about how we would lose in Afghanistan. NO ONE has ever beaten them. It's lame that their system is such trash. But, they don't give up. We should've never been there in the first place.
Ok 👌 I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Democrats community to our society. I love driving down there streets and seeing the American flag waving so proudly in every yard. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighborhoods family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. You can witness this by their strict adherence to our local and Federal laws. Their commitment to academic excellence en-riches our schools and services as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as people. Just watching their Special kind of Science change our society is simply amazing. I mean,who ever thought there are 187 Genders? Real estate values are fueled by the mix of Democrat Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of all they have achieve through their enthusiasm for self improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creativity drive, we would undoubtedly be poorer as a nation.
But hay may be all Democrats in the USA should move to Kingston Ave Philadelphia 🤔!

Michael, you are an influential American Icon, you can do much better than this. Help us get the Taliban to petition the Chinese government to have the classrooms full of Uighurs focused on the skill-sets necessary to build state of the Mosques in Muslim areas of China and Afghanistan. This will broaden the horizons of both countries.
Symbolically the same as History of the World Part One.
Thanks Mr Moore
LOL, epic going to my favorites :D Thank you Michael Moore!
My understanding of fundamentalists of any persuasion is that they see their system/religion is compromising with the modern world and want to take it back to what they think is the original state of the religion Trying to transplant a state of mind that is 1 or 2 thousand years old to the present time is doomed to failure.
Fundamentalism is usually reaction to uncertainty. Recently we could see it in Brexit. Thousands of people going backwards in "good old times" (strong nationalism) trying to find safety in uncertain situation around. I hope Afganistans will get their country back from talibans.
Michael,. The Amish don't have TVs either, I understand. And they don't have guns either, and I doubt they would ever have a use for either. FUN-dementalism at its best.
Hopefully they grew up this time around.
Precisely the mind set of the "Puritans" who arrived in New England in 1620 to found their own little Puristan. Their cult religion didn't survive, but their sense of persecution and zeal for forcing others to their will, did.
Even after all these years I can't see Sally Struthers without thinking of the south park episode she was in
Love how some backward country people stop the Great American army for twenty years.
ruclips.net/p/PL3J6z7F6XQN2KkqDdZ79Hr-KKz9ia0Pg-
@Bernard Ray The Army Corps of Engineers built roads and bridges and schools and infrastructure for 20 years. Things that we need here now. Why would the backward country people stop them?
Except they really didn't. They simply retreated and waited for America to hemorrhage money to the point where it was politically impossible to continue. The Taliban were classic guerilla fighters, and had no means to match the US in any conventional sense, but the strictures of 4th generation warfare do not require military might, only patience. In every conventional engagement, the Taliban lost, basically- but this is only a demonstration of the utility of a Fabian policy. You can win every battle, and still lose a war, which is precisely what happened.
