Re: How about if we stop making more terrorists in the first place?
No, Talibans were never "freedom fighters", just like the Red Army invading Europe were not democratic "freedom fighters" at all. Believing that "the enemy of my enemy is my ally", nay bring more problems than it solves, especially when your "ally" is not reliable at all. Yet, sometimes, you have little choices.
Using the Talibans helped the fall of the Soviet Unoin, jut like helping Stalin helped the fall of the Nazi German. In both cases there was an high price to pay - even if someone may find it "acceptable".
