Yes but it's their fucked up world and we all seem to forget that. We seem to think we can go into these places and impose our standards and morals, plus expoit them if they have anything, like it's the 19th Century.

They fought to get the Taliban in. They know what they were doing and they wanted it. Like in Iran they kicked out one corrupt Westernized Government and put in it's place another form. They know if they break the rules they will get punished, they know they are adopting a moral standard more fitting the 11th Century then the 21st Century.

Maybe they do it because it's better for them than some corrupt Westernized dictator filling his pockets with our bribes. And that's the problem in many of these places. The rich in the cities do well and the poor get fucked. Should we be so surprised when they reject our standards?

Yes when they do something like 9/11 they should be hit back and hit hard.
