Hamas leader killed in air strike

During the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan & Afghani Civil War in the '80s. America couldn't go to war with the Soviet Union over it (god forbid, they wont pick a fight they might lose) so the CIA trained and funded the resistance fighters, most of which being the Taliban.

Really? hmm
why does the Taliban not like america then?

Saying that though, we were once at war with germany and we friends now:\

I would expect it has something to do with America attacking them for the past few years lol

Because America has since declared war on the Taliban and extreme Muslims are against Westerners.

Bite the hand that feeds I guess. They ended up coming into power and harboring/supporting Al Qaeda who attacked America. When the U.S discovered they were linked, I guess it was convenient they supported them in secret. Communism was a bigger threat than Muslim Extremism. No matter, the Taliban fell within weeks.
I had a really interesting lecture about this at Aberystwyth Uni, I'll try and get the reading materials 'cause it pretty much summed it up really clearly.

BBC are often anti-semetic in their reports so I wouldn't be suprised if they'd managed to pursuade some of you that Israel has no right to attack.
