Al Qaeda are foreigners in Afghanistan, Doug. Afghans are not too keen on being ruled by foreigners. Any foreigners. Al Qaeda never ran Afghanistan - they were tolerated as paying guests by the people who did. Very foolishly.

A similar inference to Leadfingers' would be that anyone who denounces random bombing by any group can be assumed to support random bombing by any other group, or by any government, unless they specifically condemn these at the same time. Maybe that is true for some people, but it's not exactly a safe assumption.
