| #10 In 2001 the UN agreed that the US and UN forces should drive the taliban from AFG. In October of 2001 the US offered 'moderate Taliban' political power in Afghanistan. The rot set in very early. |

| #5 In 2001 the UN agreed that the US and UN forces should drive the taliban from AFG. In 2021 the UN agrees that the taliban should drive the elected government and all foreign troops from AFG. This demonstrates the UN's, uh, flexibility while dollecting graft from the contributors. |
