During the occupation, the vast majority of people in Afghanistan either lived in

1.) In areas controlled by the Taliban

2.) Areas controlled by the Northern Alliance or other U.S. allied anti-Taliban warlords who were as bad or worse than the Taliban.

And on top of that they had to deal with US/Nato Bombings, US soldiers literally killing them for sport, getting abducted and tortured to death for driving a taxi, etc.

Yes, probably a tiny minority of people who lived in Kabul, which was the only space ever fully under US control, will probably tell you that life was better under US occupation.

Why don't you actually spend some time reading about Afghanistan before you come round here trying to "guess" what Afghan people "prefer." Thanks.
