Without dwelling on what is right and what is wrong, one must take into account the psyche of the belligerent parties. Terrorism is the strength of the weak and the weakness of the strong. When a cat is cornered, it doesn't contemplate on the ramifications of its action–scratching the face of the attacker–for it doesn't has the luxury to opt for the better choice.The question is very simple: save your life; the answer simpler:do whatever it takes to live another day. So, our great Uncle Sam should rid itself of the "White man's burden", stop worrying about reforming the world, and better concentrate on the well being of its own people.Afghans, if left on their own, will sort out their issues their own way.And mind it Afghans include Taliban.

It is always sad when children are the victims. We must identify the obvious culprits who are recruiting these innocent children to do their heinous job of suicide bombings. The terrorists have been targeting children in their schools and as well as brainwashing them to become suicide bombers. Did we not see them poisoning school girls lately? Have we not noticed the various attacks near children’s schools that kill scores of school going children? Is it not time for us to realize that the real enemy have been targeting our children for decades? The coward terrorists believe that by hurting children they can break the resolve of the people who are striving for peace in their country. Unless we neutralize the terrorists completely our children will not remain safe. Capt. Joseph Kreidel DET-United States Central Command www.centcom.mil/ur

Massive tragedy is unfolding in Afghanistan. A level of atrocity rarely witnessed in history is being committed on the Afghan children, the women, and the elderly…in the 21century! Had it been another land another people the Western World would scream “Holocaust, Holocaust…” Are these the children of a lesser god? Is there no respite for the Taliban Warrior. No Scimitar Blade to dull the NATO Sword? Where is the Muslim response? Where is Humanities? UN…?
