NO!
I mean "looked the other way when we could've taken them out", as some were recommending we should do. The 'other post' I referred to is [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=10109| here] which links to an article [link|http://www.politicsol.com/guest-commentaries/2001-09-18.html|here] which makes the point that
For years, I begged the previous administration, our government, to support those resisting the Taliban regime, to support the former King Zahir Shah, and to let him head an interim government until a more democratic process could be put in place. This was an alternative we had. Instead, the only response that I got from the previous administration was stonewalling, stonewalling that and stonewalling my request to find out what the government's real policies were.
In other words, to call these subhuman cowards "freedom fighters"
I didn't call the Taliban freedom fighters,; my point was that there are other groups in the world (IRA? Basque Seperatists in Spain?) who some one consider 'terrorists' and others would consider not.
