No tribute to Mulla Omars personality. The very word Mulla signifies a mans lowest social status in Pashtun society. A large part of what analysts like Riedel now define as Islamic terrorism was created by the CIA in its notorious partnership with ISI and CIA in 1980-90. While the US abandoned Afghanistan and Pakistan in the period 1990-2001 , the Pakistani ISI saw Afghanistan as a giant training camp to train ISI proxies for the war in Indian occupied Kashmir. Thus the rise of the Taliban from 1994 to 2001. American policy makers were simply sleeping during this period and today the Americans are simply paying the price for their naive complacency.
