Yes, perspectives differ. Same goes for the "spy plane" incident and our support of Tiawan. That difference of perspective, encouraged by their government, is why many Chinese (the internet connected ones) are so critical of the US. Thankfully, they and their government have as much to lose from global instability, not to mention the Taliban themselves, as we do and agree that 9/11 was, in fact, an act of terrorism that justifies action.
