So you would rather (for example as in chile) have a dictatorship that killed over 30,000 people to a democracy?
What gives American government the right to interfere with the legitimate democratic process in other countries?
That fact that it has, makes it no better than those it decrys.

Afghanistan is NOT at peace, the warlords are now engageing in Internecine conflict, women are still opressed and forced to wear burlkhas in many areas still, Cable T.V has been bannedin Kabul for being "unislamic" and Of course we have the fact that the farmers are now growing opium again, Which will of course become heroin supplied to America and the west in the end.
NOte also, That Since america killed more innocent civlians in afghanistan than died in sept 11th, does that not make it rather hypocratical?

Freedom fighters or Terrorists?
It's only a matter of semantics, The Mujaheddin became the Taleban.
