we are using the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, and we have seen the massacre in Mazar E Sharif, and no one is blaming Bush for it (he "should" have known that the Northern AllianceTajiks and Uzbeks and the Pushtun Talibans had a long lasting blood feud between them just as the Christian and Palestinians had in Lebanon, in both cases due to earlier mutual massacres).

That is not the same, as far as I know. Israel literally oversaw the massacre, from its watchpost. Israel had guards standing outside the camp, sending fleeing refugees back into the camp. Israel resisted U.S. pleas to stop the massacre. Israel met with the Phalangist leaders during the slaughter (after it was well known to be happening - even the U.S. knew about it by then), and then sent them back in. Did the U.S. play such a direct role in Mazar E Sharif?
