You: why do so many pakistanis support bin laden and taliban, if they are muslims, islam is a great religion and bin laden and taliban are as awful as we are told? something doesn't follow!

A respose to you: why did so many Germans support hitler?

[and an excellent, highly representative one at that]

You: they were willing executioners

Can't you do better than that?

Isn't it clear and obvious that the Taliban purposely seek a state where religion dominates and education is frowned upon? How will these people ever rise above their leader-inspired hatred?

They won't. They will never learn because they are denied the tools.

And as far as women, imagine, its illegal for them to even attempt to self-educate.

No matter what the US has done with foreign policy in the past, nothing can forgive these feudal regimes from *purposely* repressing their own people in order to turn them into willing cannon (or bomb) fodder to further their leader's own political goals.

Its all about power and not one bit about God.

I feel sorry for the people and anger towards their leaders. I can feel no hate for the people that have been purposely led down a blinding path of hate -- but I feel it amply towards their leaders.

Let open thinking and education reign in these places and there would be such a renaissance there that they could hardly dream of.

And no more suicide bombers...
