#6 At this point in the WOT, the terrorists are just like the KKK or any other anarchist group - they have no real goals and they are just angry juveniles, with vague complaints, raging against the machine. Ironically, despite their delusions of grandeur, these malcontents are always just tools, funded by someone involved in a much bigger political power play.

The only difference between Islamic terrorists and the spoiled bratts who break windows at Starbucks, is the level of brutality that their own society is willing to look away.

#11 And this is Bush's fault because .... I almost forgot! Yeah! If we hadn't invaded Afghanistan, and tried to impose our silly, liberal (ouch!)western ways on the peaceful, happy populace, the girls wouldn't have even been in school!

The KKK comparison is apt - when did the American Civil War "quagmire" end? The KKK fought on using terror tactics for over a hundred years.

#14 Lost in the rubble of that article is a remarkable statement, and a courageous act.

Want to see courage? It was right there in front of you.

" the principal said he plans to resume classes for his 665 students, ages 7 to 15, by Saturday."

Brave guy to stand up and get right back to first-things-first, in spite of the risk. I'm proud that we are in the process of freeing and protecting people like him in the world. As a former soldier, I believe this is a guy that may be worth bleeding for.

We get more Afghanis like him (and the kids who have him as an example), and the war there is won for generations to come.

#15 It could've been worse. They could've lit the place up while the kids were in there. I'm surprised they didn't.
