The Taliban's rise to power
The Taliban are one of the mujahideen ("holy warriors" or "freedom fighters") groups that formed during the war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan (1979-89). After the withdrawal of Soviet forces, the Soviet-backed government lost ground to the mujahideen. In 1992, Kabul was captured and an alliance of mujahideen set up a new government with Burhanuddin Rabbani as interim president. However, the various factions were unable to cooperate and fell to fighting each other. Afghanistan was reduced to a collection of territories held by competing warlords.
... and there is more ...
This was during the Reagan and Bush years.
So, you think it is okay for Iran to have nuclear weapons.
Exactly. Just the Bolsheviks who became the Soviets. Different name. Same people.
Republicans try to pretend the Mujahideen/Taliban are not the same so that they can lay the blame for their existence on the Democrats. Nobody but themselves are fooled by this tactic.
It's not any more "okay" for the U.S to have nuclear weapons.
Frankly Israel is a terrorist country and Iran should have the right to protect themselves any way necessary. nuclear weapons is a little far but if Israel has them, how else can Iran defend that other than attaining nuclear weapons themselves?
Right.

The Taliban movement emerged out of the chaos and uncertainty of the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989)
The Taliban and the Mujahudeen are the same people. After they ousted the Russians, they reorganized, focused on running Afghanistan and called themselves the Taliban. They still wore the same clothes, carried the same weapons and had the same beliefs.
Right.

If and when the Americans INVADE Iran, the only reason will be for the same reason it invaded Iraq. Just as Saddam changed his oil dollars to the euro, that is started selling his oil in euros instead of US dollars, not even one year prior to the invasion. And now so has Iran.
Iran stops selling oil in U.S. dollars -report | Markets | Reuters
So yes they are the next target, and no it is not because of nuclear threat.
