including amputations and executions and strictly curtailed the role of women keeping them out of schools. not only does the taliban dislike those of other faiths, they murder their own. they kill fellow muslims who don't subscribe to the same extremist ideologists they do. religious of freedom, freedom of any kind does not exist in the country ruled by the taliban. the taliban can never be an american ally. we can never give them legitimacy. there are some governments in the world that are imperically evil and the taliban is one of them. the group does not have a single redeeming quality as a legitimate government. the withdrawal from afghanistan was inevitable. but plenty of governments in the world that are antidemocratic without being outright demonic. afghanistan's new taliban government is made up of barbarians who lead in a faith that they have.
