I never said one was better than the other. You basically stated that the Talaban never killed any innocents, which is clearly wrong.

The Taliban was bad, but as least they didn't fire on buses of innocent people just getting out of the way!

Firing on a bus of innocent people is terrorism in my book.
You can't say 'their way of killing innocents is worse than ours'.
When innocents die there is no justification!
Whoever did this is no better than the Taliban.
The Kandahar governor, Tooryalai Wesa, called for the commander of the military convoy who opened fire to be prosecuted under military law.
“If you want to stop the bus, it should be shot in the tires,” Mr. Wesa said. “Why shoot the people inside?”
Mr. Karzai, whose relationship with the United States has been particularly fraught in recent weeks, called the shooting “unjustifiable” and said that “firing on a passenger bus is against the NATO commitment to save civilian lives.”

In such a hard-lined region, the troops should be doing everything they can to win the hearts of the people. Instead they are pushing them back towards supporting the Taliban just to get the occupiers out of their country.
It's so obvious that attacks on civilians like this are meant to continue the friction and continue the war for as long as possible.
Yeah, i made my comment in haste. We're just as bad as each other (we are probably worse if you check the death figures and take into account future deaths and defects caused by the uranium)
