An Afghan perspective I found interesting. Some deletia since I didn't wanna reprint the whole thing:

"I've been hearing a lot of talk about 'bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age'... I am from Afganistan. I speak as one who deeply hates the Taliban and Osama bin Laden. My hatred comes from first-hand experience. There is no doubt in my mind that these people were responsible for the atrocity in New York. I agree something must be done about those monsters. But the Taliban and bin Laden are not Afghanistan. They're not even the government of Afghanistan. The Taliban are a cult of ignorant psychotics who took over Afghanistan in 1997. Bin Laden is a political criminal with a plan. When you think Taliban, think Nazis. When you think bin Laden, think Hitler. And when you think of 'the people of Afghanistan', think 'the Jews in the concentration camps'. It's not only that the Afghan people have nothing to do with this atrocity. They were the first victims of the perpetrators.
