What is a good/reasonable response to this argument?

    The Taliban literally live there, they will always be in Afghanistan and they will recruit more and more people since US/NATO forces and militias keep killing civilians and occupying their country. And the Taliban exist because we created, funded and armed their predecessors. Maybe those people should think of the Taliban as Pentagon's militia!

    Also, most of the people who use this argument want the US to overthrow Assad, giving the country over to "moderate rebels" like Al Qaeda, ISIS and other similar groups, all of them are worse than the Taliban. So which is it, should extremists be fought against or given an entire country to rule?
