When they refused to surrender the terrorist organization we entered Afghanistan looking for them, the Taliban was not pleased. They fought us and we fought back, and in the end the Taliban’s ruthless regime was ended. That was nine years, today they fight us in a guerilla campaign waiting until they can again take control.

The Taliban’s regime was ruthless and they are well known for enforcing ludicrous laws especially those involving women.
