Question: Who are the Bad Guys?

[Faust]

WBWilder said: The Afghans were the good guys when they were fighting the Russians, Bin Laden included. Now they are the bad guys.

Not entirely true. The "bad guy" Afghani's were those aligned with either the Taliban or Al-Qaeda. The common Afghani person, from my understanding, was quite happy to see the Taliban removed from power.

WBWilder said:Iraqis were the good guys when fighting Iran. Now we are at war in Iraq. So I guess one has to be politically careful and correct these days, or should it really matter?WB

Similar to above comment: The Iraqi's are not necessarily the bad guys right now, only the insurgents. While public Iraqi opinion of Americans is on a general decline, they are (or at least were in 2003) happy that we have removed Saddam Hussein from power.
