What the hell? America did not put the Taliban in charge of Afghanistan. Where'd you hear that? After the US helped to defeated the communists they made a mistake by leaving Afghanistan without a stable government. Afterwards the Taliban, a fundamentalist group from Pakistan took advantage of the opportunity and took over. The US did
not put the Taliban in charge. There was a king that ruled Afghanistan after the communists left, but he wasn't powerful enough to stop the Taliban from taking power.
This time we are trying to make sure that the same thing doesn't happen again. Nations around the world are helping Afghanistan to form a stable democratic government. If a fundamentalist group similar to the Taliban try to take over again, the US military will take care of them.

There is nothing wrong with being conservative, and there isn't anything wrong with being liberal. I think something inbetween is perfect. It's kind of like decentralization, and centralization in a government. If you have too much centralization it's a dictatorship, and if you don't have enough there's no security at all, anarchy would be a common thing.
