We had blog discussion today also because it was a pretty big topic. Today we talked about Al Queida, the Taliban, and the war in Afghanistan. I learned that Al Queida is a terrorist group that is supported by the Taliban. The Taliban is the government of Afghanistan and it was extremely strict. Women really had no rights and had to be covered at all times. They also didn't allow any technology or any modern things. Mr. Bruns told us that this was probably because the leaders of this government wanted to have complete control. They didn't want any of the people who lived there to know what was happening in the rest of the world or have any communication.The war in Afghanistan happened because of what happened on 9-11. It was the war against terrorism. Our troops overthrew the Taliban, but since our focus has been in Iraq the Taliban is starting to come back into power.
