That Afghani northen alliance leader (Massood, or what ever his name was) was no good guy either...just the lesser of two evils. The Russians kinda liked him because he was giving them a buffer area between Taliban controlled areas of Afganistan and the former muslim republics of the USSR (Tadjikistan, etc), but he's just as bad. If the Taliban had managed to get a foothold in those areas as well, we'd have those little countries on the "Bomb Me Now" list as well...I imagine DarkJedi can give a better perspective on this little statement...
