Are you referring specifically to the ones whose homes and fields we're blowing up, or more generally?
Your question is stupid. Of course I think Karzai's rule is better than the Taliban's. The problem is that the Taliban doesn't think so, and that we don't have a good way to stopping them. Troops who think that destroying Afghan homes and fields is a good way to win them over to Karzai's government are not going to help things.
