#1 Lets see now... the ole' poor-innocent-college-student-goes-on-holiday-to battlefield-becomes-martyr.

I guess that means we got a bunch of the Taliban bad boys then.

Remember the-wedding-party-in-the-desert-at-3am story.

These guys do have a flair for the tale, ya think?

#3 The demonstrators were also shouting that foreigners have not come to build Afghanistan, but are here to create problems.

The demonstrators are actually right about this.

In 2001 foreigners came to Afghanistan not to build the country but to ~~hunt down and kill~~ create problems for Islamofascists.

The specific reason was that that these people

who were members of an organization based in and sheltered by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan came to the US and did this:

and this

After this ~~tragedy~~ massacre, President Bush declared that "We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them."

Days later he issued an ultimatum

"These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion. The Taliban must act, and act immediately. They will hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate."

which that the Taliban ignored.

Hence Operation ~~Infinite Justice~~ Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

Sorry for repeating myself.

#5 Re #2: The difference is that Americans and NATO troops do not go into a village and kill anyone who protests against them.
