    Stop its a peaceful religion. You're just listening to the vast right-wing-conspiracy controlled media. I'm sure its President Bush's fault.

    Sorry I have this brain tumor that sometimes make me say moronic leftist stuff.

    Now for real is there anyone still around that believes we shouldn't kill them all and let Allah sort them out.

    As crazy as it sounds, this is a common practice among rebel troops all over the world. In many African countries when rebels move in on villages, they usually force the children to join their crusade and as an act of initiation, may force some of these children to murder their own parents. Sadly, this is not a new tactic the Taliban is trying. They have been recruiting women and children for some time now. I think it's just taken awhile for the news to finally find a way back to us. It definitely makes you think though doesn't it? With everything that's going on in our world it's truly a wonder that children have any sense of normalcy. But then again, what's considered normal these days.

    It sounds like something the Nazis used to do; when they were running low on adult soldiers, they turned to the kids. As the war progressed, the kids recruited got younger and younger, even down to ages 4 and 5.

    The Taliban's people obviously do not have a heart. It is sad what is going on over there...

    There is a passage in the Bible concerning this. I can't remember the exact wording but the moral is that it would be better(for the "recruiter") if a millstone was tied around his neck and he be dropped in the depths of the ocean.

    The end for most of these terrorists, I hope, is that the people they are hiding among will become so disgusted with their tactics that they will tear them limb from limb.

    I'm outraged this happens in Afgan, in Libera, in Ivory Coast, and in many other countries around the world.

    we need to make peace and put aside our difference not war, then our children will grow up in a peaceful environment.

    Anything the Taliban does outrages me. Sadly, it no longer surprises me.

    I'm saddened ; sickened , and disgusted - but not surprised .

    It's been made clear this group has no regard for human life or they wouldn't strap bombs on women and children as it is .
