    From the bits I've seen in the news and read in the papers, I thought these were the "good" guys. I just read a post here where someone said they were just as bad as the Taliban and it really surprised me. I searched for some information on them and can't find anything other than little news snippets about Massood's death. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can learn more about this group?

    The Northern Alliance are not the good guys. They are the "less bad" guys. At any rate, the previous Afghan government was not nearly as oppresive as the Taliban. Regardless of who is good or who is bad, the Taliban deserve to be eliminated. A new oppressor may or may not take their place. We'll blow up that bridge when we get to it.

    Since the day I was born I had a wonderful dream
    To make people hurt to make people scream

    I wanna fight you but you don&#39;t dare
    I spit on your face and you just stare
    I beat you down and the cops don&#39;t care

    Stab you in the chest
    Right through the flesh
    Shove the knife in deep
    Cause life is cheap
    Like hookers from Budapest
