Who do you think the Mujahideen became?

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Taliban

>The Taliban emerged in the aftermath of the Afghan War (1978–92). Afghanistan’s new government failed to establish civil order outside of Kabul, and much of the country was subject to frequent extortion and assault from local militias and warlords. Facing mass displacement during the war, many Afghans found solidarity in the religious rhetoric of the mujahideen resistance and opportunity in schools of Islamic sciences (called madrasahs) in southern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan. In 1994 a group of former fighters, associated with a madrasah in a village of Kandahār province, successfully subdued a local warlord and began pacifying nearby areas. The faction, which enjoyed popular support with its promise of security and its religious fervour, quickly grew into the movement now known as the Taliban. By late 1996 the Taliban had seized the capital, Kabul, and gained effective control over some two-thirds of the country.

Gotta say, is there an upper limit CT residents have on getting taxed for shit that never happens?

Cause we seem to vote for every new tax that claims to be for infrastructure and I've yet to see any positive change in this state in my 30 years of life.

Personal rant: Enfield can screw itself in particular, they're currently demolishing the only youth center near by to build a assisted living community. They charge outrageous property tax on your car just yo give you some of the most shit roads I've ever driven in the whole nation. You can bet the town hall and green look great for tourism pictures though.
