. This is how
Ciro Santilli
first
heard
the old man lost his horse
! The scene happens after the
Americans
seem to have had sucess in arming the Taliban in the 1980s to fight the Soviets, and then they decide to stop all monetary help to rebuild the
country
, which then
leads
to
a
terrorism
threat many
years
later.
