gv, You may not believe now under the constant media manipulation but over the time you will begin to accept them as freedom fighters. Same for Afghanistan when Taliban were written off as bunch of savages and after 8 years even mainstream media like New York times has started realizing the truth and praising Taliban.

Mullah Omar: He’s staged one of the most remarkable military comebacks in modern history.
Please read comments on the article in the link and see how lot of readers are portraying Taliban as freedom fighters compared unfortunately to lot of Muslims who call them terrorists. See how this guy Nick wrote below. He is 100% correct.

NYtime Quote: "Afghans cheered the return of girls’ education, music and ordinary pleasures outlawed by the grim fundamentalist government."
Girls always had an education under Taliban rule. They just outlawed it when they were invaded out of fear of coalition forces bombing these schools. They felt that girls, who are regarded higher in status as boys, would be more protected at home then in a school building which is more susceptible to being targeted by coalition forces. Let’s not forget how many bombs already were responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. Cheney had said there was no military target to bomb. The whole country was bombed to dust by carpet bombs using B-52’s and other WMD’s. Why does the NYT keep spinning these words around?
