Ep. 65: Is the Taliban's victory a win or defeat for the West?

The mindcrime liberty show discusses the Taliban's victory and most likely the multi nation coalition dominated by the US leaving Afghanistan.  We at the Mindcrime liberty show argue it is a victory.  It is a victory for Ron Paul, Scott Horton, Glen Greenwald, Julian Assange and Peter Hitchens.   It is a huge loss for arms contractors, neocons, hawkish liberals/progressives, imperial feminists and "Wilsonites" who want to export democracy abroad.   This war also exposes some pesky problems for anti war culturally left wing people in a way that is much different then the Vietnam war.  The Taliban are very much a socially conservative group which brings certain groups to the front of line in advocacy for war at this point.   This defeat also exposes a lot of phoney left wing/liberal anti war people like Stephen Colbert as well as the corporate media at large who peddled all the lies and half truths to get the West involved.
