I can differentaite between the SS nutcase and the normal German soldier, the Taliban are the former, they care not for people, nor about the will of Allah, they care about brutalising a frightened peasant population into submission and imposing a brutal and violent regime on them and ruling them like feudal overlords. I am as disgusted by the invasion of Afghanistan as say, John Pilger, he really, really hates it. But I am not going to justify the Taliban by calling them freedom fighters, they fight for nothing but their own freedom to impose violence, brutality and opression.

Heroic? Car bombings, suicide bombings and the like are not heroic at all, just as high altitude bombings are not heroic, but rather acts of murder.
