One man's Terrorist is another man's Freedom Fighter. I've read that the Taliban didn't hand over Osama because the US government didn't show proof that he was involved with 9/11. Much of the militant activity there now is the result of anger over a foreign army trying to occupy Afghanistan. If you saw your house bombed by a predator drone and your family was killed, wouldn't you be angry and want to fight? I'm sure that there are many non-Taliban resistance groups that fight US and foreign troops at night because they want us out of their country. The people of these groups are probably thought of as patriots in Afghanistan for defending their country. We should leave now because we don't belong there. But, the Taliban who try to restrict people's rights are scum or are very misguided.
