I ask that you as the OP'er of this thread make that assessment and let me know OK! I fully accept what ever you decide [for the purposes of this thread alone] and will comply fully with your request to have me leave this thread of yours alone if that is what you really want OK!
P.S. I note all of that was off topic

Taliban were not an Afghan product. Are you sure that Afghani's that were being controlled by warlords as you say were also crazy extremist Muslims as you say? Taliban is something modern. Warlords and Afghani nomads didn't have to do anything more with them, as much as Islamist extremism didn't have to do anything more with them too.

While I agree that the whole world should learn from this, it is naive to think that suicide bombers are, in general, more "suicidal" than they are "bombers." To give justification to their HOMICIDAL acts against other human beings. Not saying our military has been in the right, but these men who strap bombs to themselves are not doing it, in general, because they are grieving. They are doing it for the honor received in fighting the Great Satan and the virgins they will receive upon such a murderous death.

What gets me about the people on here that try and tout the Afghan people and culture as being I think some idiot said "light years a head of western culture" why do they still live in mud huts ? and mate with their mules when they aren't riding them. Treat woman and children like property, and trade human life like baseball cards.
Are all Afghans bad ? no, are all Americans bad ? no but we are a head of the game no matter what it is. And those of you who try to invest your emotions into issues like this exhibit the same profile and or mentality as the ones blowing up woman and children in the name what ever deity they are serving ATM.
