"Far more civilians have been killed by the US military in Afghanistan than were killed in the US in the tragedy of September 11.

A number of independent journalists confirm that the Taliban has garnered substantial support in the South from disenchanted Afghans who're tired of the broken promises, the lack of employment and reconstruction, and the random bombing of innocent civilians.
