I remember a few years ago seeing a picture from Iran of three young men who had had their tongues cut out and ears cut off for saying things against the regime of Saddam. It sickened me so much that I totalled supported what happened after. I dont see potentially much difference in Afganistan-a totalitarian government under the Taliban with complete humiliation of women and a dire education system based on supporting fanatics who rule by intimidation.
To me, whether or not the true reason for us being their is about oil is irrelevant, if we can help ordinary people live reasonable lives.
