Just ignorant ones. TV is Banned in Afghanistan. Radios are rare. I don't know about newspapers (or what the levels of literacy are) but I shouldn't think they're too liberal. Add to that the fact that most afghanistanis are too busy starving to death to worry about America or NATO or Bin Laden or getting bombed...

They've had about 30 years of war and 3 years of drought, can you blame them for being disinterested in international politics?

I don't know if it's true, but I heard that something like a quarter of aghanistanis are expected to die of starvation by Christmas.

Don't want to flame anyone with this post, but I really do feel the Afghanistani population are getting a rough deal here. We've had enough misery.
