Since the Taleban returned to power, Afghanistan's opium production - which had flourished under US leadership - has been cut 80% already:

This has destroyed the majority of the heroin supply to Europe

This move comes not long after the Taleban wiped out a US puppet army that had embezzled billions of USD worth of American taxpayer funding the CIA had diverted to the country over a period of decades.

Trust the Taleban to build a stable and pure society where American bullets could not.

They've also just started a trendy new women's lifestyle magazine. Rachel Ray - back your ass up!

The Pakistani Taliban released an online magazine geared toward women this week. The third of its kind in six years, the magazine comes at a time when the militant group formally known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, is staging a resurgence with near-daily deadly attacks on Pakistani security forces.

She properly auntied up huh.

In any case isn't it nice that there are people like that Taleban out there, who make sure there is space for women to exist without being constantly subjected to critiques of their waist, face, breasts etc or having to sexualise themselves for men's approval. Thank you, Taleban, for standing with women!

Did the Taliban go through a branding change or have US news entities been spelling it wrong for 20 years?

Saxi and you should definately live in Afghanistan or Pakistan.

Personally I would have liked to visit Persia before your friends moved in to "fix" the place.

Iran's really nice and has no Taleban. 10/10 holiday destination, I'd recommend.

Your real barrier is that you're Canadian. It doesn't mean you can't go, just means you'd have to have a guide the entire time you were there. Same goes for UK and US. Irish master race are of course free to roam the country at their leisure.

For my part I'd have really liked to visit Iraq before your friends moved in (c. 2003).
