Afghanistan was better of before US took it... now Taliban controls more territory then they did before US came in...
list of countries that depended on the USA that got totally screwed over is larger then the list of a few that USA let become rich and prosperous.

Iran problems began with islamic revolution, and USA had nothing to do with it, no?
> Afghanistan was better of before US took it
Which conflict you are talking about? War in Afghanistan started almost 50 years ago.
> now Taliban controls more territory then they did before US came in
Yeah, the US need to finish what it started. I think Trump decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan was a mistake.
This is incorrect. In 1953, the United States overthrew the democratically elected PM and installed a dictator. The Islamic Revolution was a response to that.

Anyway, it does not disprove my point about countries which became dependent on US, and civil wars where one party is supported by the US.
As for Afghanistan, the taliban has only recently expanded its territorial base before 9/11. The afghan government of today controls more territory than the soviet backed state ever did; whose control only extended to the major population centers and connecting arteries.
