#2 Isn't that just typical that Western governments destroy things, while Osama bin Laden is a hero because he builds things.

#6 British troops have destroyed a Taleban training camp in southern Afghanistan, killing dozens of insurgents, according to the military. About 110 Royal Marines carried out the operation in northern Helmand, which it is hoped will pave the way for repairs on a hydroelectric dam in the province. It is hoped nearly two million people will now get access to electricity.

#7 Isn't it wonderful how these thugs and their cult keep their own people stuck in the 7th Century by refusing to allow repairs to a hydroelectric facility that could bring bits of civilization to almost 2 million people.

Thugs and cultists.

#8 I still haven't decided if the terrorists are adrenaline junkies and just like to blow $hit up and kill people, or if they really believe what they are fighting for. I suspect it's a mix.
