The Taliban and Ben Laden are not Afghanistan. They're not even the government of Afghanistan. The Taliban are a cult of ignorant psychotics who took over Afghanistan in 1997. Bin Laden is a political criminal with a plan. When you think Taliban, think Nazis. When you think Bin Laden, think Hitler. And when you think "the people of Afghanistan" think "the Jews in the concentration camps." It's not only that the Afghan people had nothing to do with this atrocity. They were the first victims of the perpetrators. They would exult if someone would come in there, take out the Taliban and clear out the rats nest of international thugs holed up in their country. Liberate Afgganistan of the Taliban and Ben Laden and we'd have a strong Moslem nation as a grateful ally in South Asia.

Bin Laden is the Commander in Chief of the Afghan Military. He is supported by the Taliban government.

I'm all for the elimination of these band of terrorist, but for the Islamic people to became a grateful ally!!!

That's pretty myopic thinking at best, delusional at worst.
