Were the mujahadeen considered terrorists when we incited holy war against the Soviet Union's invasion and occupation and supplied them stinger missiles to kill Russian helicopter pilots? Were they terrorists when Rambo III played goat football on horseback with them?
Are they terrorists because they live in Afghanistan and resisted the infidel army of the west that was bombing and occupying their country on a vengeful whim?
Should we have just let that soldier die in the arms of the Talib?
Should we have held those five taliban indefinitely at Gitmo? Should we shoot them? Should we drone strike their homes?
By 2002, the BBC reported that Allied bombing of Afghanistan had resulted in more civilian casualties than America lost on 9/11/01. What do you call people who kill civilians with bombs?
