Pardon, but that kind of moral equivalence, while rhetorically convenient, is also foolish and sophomoric. The Taliban in power were brutal and murderous, not merely corrupt. Even when out of power, in any year Taliban forces were responsible for 70+% of civilian casualties.
I would prefer to have lived in Kabul under the US imposed system, warts and all, to living in a religious dictatorship. But, colonial regimes, per my African history professor, tend to last only 90 years, and in Africa rarely penetrated the hinterlands.
That rule of thumb doesn't seem very useful. All it really tells us is that colonial regimes that exist longer than a century no longer seem to us to be colonial regimes, but just regimes.
You have a doctorate in African history and taught at the University of Ghana under N'Krumba as my professor had done? I just had the year. The colonial rule didn't penetrate the hinterlands. A lot of it was rule by proxy.
One example was the Ashante surrendering to the British in form only rather than get their own killed in a hopeless fight (Baden-Powel was pissed not to have had a rousing fight). They hid the Golden Stool which was their emotional symbol of the chieftainship.
The British tried tracking down the Golden Stool into the 1930s, never found it, never were considered a legitimate government. After freedom, it was pulled out of hiding, and the Ashante chief was enstooled (which did not involve sitting on a fragile historical artifact).
