Can someone explain to me why we're having a national day of mourning for the man who created the Taliban?

Tradition -- it's sort of what's expected for presidents. I'm trying to remember: did Nixon get one? I thought so.

LBJ was the last one to get a funeral on this scale, at any rate. But Nixon is the only one who's died since.
