It's obvious that the U.S. soldier snapped, and did not kill for political reasons. He did multiple tours of duty helping both Iraqis and Afghans, and lost his mind after a brain injury. It is also obvious, that the Afghans that kill Americans, do it sanely, and for political reasons.
How do you not see the incredibly stark difference in intent between the U.S. military and the Afghan enemy? What do you want? You want the U.S. to leave the Taliban alone so they can brutally oppress their people and create the same environment that we had to fight them for in the first place? Are you against basic civil rights for the Afghan people? Are you against women's rights? Because if we leave the Taliban alone, they will make what that crazy U.S. soldier did look like a Disney movie. Do you even know what it was like under the Taliban before we invaded? Women were not allowed to read or write. All 13 million of them....For them, the punishment was death. If even their hair showed outside their Burka, they would be beaten. Read about how they punish women there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban_treatment_of_women ...It will blow your fucking mind, and then you tell me they are not terrorists.
When half the population of a nation is forced to be illiterate, that cuts short the lives of countless people in that nation simply because it is not modernized. The U.S. changed that.
I have a friend that came here from Afghanistan, she's in her 20's now and she grew up watching executions in the soccer stadiums as a child. She says anyone who thinks the Taliban are regular people just fighting for their freedom are ignorant fools. She says the best thing to ever happen to Afghanistan in modern times was the Americans. Want to meet her? You can ask her yourself."
