against Taliban? Does someone know what was the situation (government, political issues) in Afghanistan before America Lunched (in October 7, 2001) the war against Taliban?
 
The situation was horrid The Taliban were like Nazi's.
Women are not allowed to work or even go out in public without a male relative; professional women such as professors, translators, doctors, lawyers, artists and writers have been forced from their jobs and stuffed into their homes, so that depression is becoming so widespread that it has reached emergency levels.

Women live in fear of their lives for the slightest misbehavior. Because they cannot work, those without male relatives or husbands are either starving to death or begging on the street, even if they hold Ph.D.'s.


The link to the CSMonitor is an article written in 2001 telling what it was like the with the Taliban.
 
The Northern Alliance were on the brink of taking kabul, the leader was killed by some person with a gun are bomb in a tv camera. Some think that hit was ordered by Osama bin laden as a signal to go ahead with the attacks on 911. The Taliban controlled roughly the same amount of area they do right now. only difference is they controlled Kabul at the time as well as the area near the Pakistan borders in the south.
