Yep. Although I think what should be even more disturbing is the fact that that barely more than a decade before going in, the US gave all those weapons, money and other sorts of help to the guys that have done most of that killing...

IMO, another awful example of the "our SOB" doctrine that, unfortunately, US foreign policy continues following and will continue getting stung by in the long run. Shamefully, 11 years in Afghanistan have done nothing to change that doctrine even in relations with that "country", let alone elsewhere. And the current SOB isn't that much of an improvement...
