84 children killed as Taliban storm school [W:171]

I do. I believe that one of the ways you make the world less-bad is that you ensure that activities like this come with overpoweringly negative consequences. One of the ways that you do that is that you take their desired endpoints and you absolutely crush them.

For example, if someone kills children in Pakistan because they are angry that Pakistan is sending a military sweep through the North - well, how can we support the Pakistani's continuing or expanding operations in the north? Can we bump the people associated with this cell to the top of the kill list to make sure that not only do they and every one of their friends die in explosions, but that everyone who doesn't die gets a real good look at what happens to your 'cause" when you target children?

Targetting them after the fact has no connection to why they did it.

Wipe them out and them wipe out who takes their place.

Sooner or later those people will not want to die for nothing.

Its a shame it had to come to this. Apparently they targeted the children of Pak military officers. If so, I'd expect they just picked a nasty fight.

..... I remember what happened to AQI members in Fallujah after they started targeting police officers' families. Folks on boards right now hollering about how getting slapped or made to stand in a stress position constitutes "torture" have no idea. Ugly. :(

Enjoy Reading. Understanding the enemy's dreams so that you can publicly brutally crush them beyond hope of redemption is indeed quite useful.

They're not dying for nothing. They are dying for something. Manage to fix the situation so that their violence threatens that something, and you're fighting the generational war smart.

In the US, religious extremists often tend to present their political lean as conservative, and conservatives are often expected to by highly religious. I dunno why, there should be no connection to a political ideology and religion.

Radical Islam is a political ideology bonded to a religion, and one could argue leftist enviro-terrorists are the same.

And please, assure me that if I go back and peruse the gun control/Sandy Hook threads I won't find posts from you pushing tighter gun control laws.

I have never advocated for tighter gun control. I have several pistols. I also have a CHL and shoot frequently. I even reload my on ammunition. You really should have looked before making this uninformed claim. All progressives are not anti-gun. Remember, I live in Texas.

Sad, isn't it. Dead children in Pakistan, killed in retribution toward the Pakistani government and he wants to blame democrats.

:confused: The Taliban and the atrocities they carried out are terror. Would you have the Pakistani government do nothing to address groups capable of carrying out these sort of attacks?

At least 84 people, most of them children, have been killed after a group of gunmen stormed an army-run school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar.

The Pakistan Taliban -- Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) -- claimed responsibility for the attack Tuesday.

Pervez Khattak, chief minister of the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, said over 80 of the injured are children ranging from 12 to 16 years of age. He added that two of the attackers are now dead -- one blew himself up, while the other was killed by security forces.

Earlier, Shahram Khan, the province's health minister, told CNN that two teachers and an army official had also been killed, while 104 more were wounded.

The Pakistan military said a rescue operation involving its troops is currently underway at the school, with gunfire still being exchanged.

Khattak said there was an "ongoing hostage situation."

Well, as Fox News has made it clear... it is much to early to talk about this and blame something or someone.

Just like when Sandy Hook happened it was too early to talk about guns, we should stop talking about Muslim extremism and just calm down.

It has to do with the Taliban, which is the subject of this atrocity.

It doesn't take "off the wall", it just takes a sense of history and a bit of memory. You may want to explore free thinking skills to widen the horizon of subject matter being discussed.

Pile in the rest of humanity's ills and problems if you go down that road - which btw, will lead to no where.

It's very relevant - of a bad decision by the US as it applies to the world, and a very good decision as it applies to the Taliban who are not only capable but have no problem with carrying out such an atrocity such as this. Were you truly despondent of about dying children you'd agree with me. It's real simple actually.

So in other words it still had absolutely nothing to do with my post.

Thanks for playing.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with Islamic extremism. :lamo

I mean, what are we thinking? It's just the Talliban. They're just a buncha misunderstood kids. Right?

They're confused about what the real evil is. It's just more evidence why Libbos are so dangerous. These are the same clowns that defend Mao, Stalin and Guerva. Go figger!

It's truly scary!

Not unsurprisingly, the nuance in the post went right past you.

I don't see a soul defending "reactionary jihadists."

It's amazing. Words are there, and then you, apdst and US Conservative read other words entirely.

What is "too early" to talk about, exactly?

From the witnesses:

They were making exclamations of 'God is great.' Then one of them proclaimed that 'A lot of the children are under the benches; kill them,' " recalled another student, 14-year-old Ahmed Faraz, from Lady Reading Hospital. "They climbed the benches and started firing at the children. "
