Taliban kill 126 in a Pakistan school. Mostly children (1 Viewer)

[Todd Andrews]

It is Allah's will.

Until peeps get outta this mind set $h1t will be awful.

extremists of all religions are a problem.

The Pakistani government has been playing a duplicitous game for a long time. They pretend to work with us on going after terrorists while at the same time hiding and coddling many of them. There was no way that high level military guys didn't know where bin Laden was for instance.

This is horrific and the Islamic monsters that did this hold the vast amount of responsibility, but the government holds some as well for the dangerous game they've been playing. Now they know that you can't befriend a viper.

Yet it seems the Taliban was targeting military leaders by hitting this school. Seems odd, if the military were supporting the taliban.

There are some that speculate this was in retaliation for the June offensive the Pak's launched against the Taliban

I thought http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=722780 was the June Offensive.

... can't imagine the depravity of those who did this for some political gain (and it was certainly more political/power play than religious). ...

The problem is when religion and politics are all mumble jumbled into a mess that completely corrupts both.

Anyone that says they are killing for God are either lying or are idiots. God should be able to handle the job himself and really if he wanted someone dead then why did he even create them in the first place?

They need to be exterminated.

Don't torture them for info though.

You do realize that the info typically gained from torture isn't really reliable, right?

They found Osama Bin Laden didn't they? Took a while. But it came to fruition.

No sympathy for known terrorists or supporters/enablers of terrorists. None what so ever.

You do know that wasn't from torture, yes?

Since everyone dies, God either wants everyone dead, or did not create them in the first place?

 

[IvanKaramazov]

The concept of mutually-assured-destruction relies on the concept that if you try to kill me and mine, I am going to try to kill you and yours. There is no distinction drawn between civilian or military targets. Death is death. We believe in that concept - the general public would expect us to hit back at any nation that hit at us - damn the consequences or civilian casualties.

Who is "we?" I don't believe in that concept at all. Do you?

This same concept is in play - assuming the Taliban believe that the Pakistani military deliberately targeted civilians, even in a war effort.

Mutually Assured Destruction refers to the nuclear detente created by the ability of both sides in the cold war to annihilate the human race, even after a surprise attack.What you are refering to is an eye for an eye. A bronze age, or older, concept

mutually assured destruction is an eye-for-an-eye - in the nuclear age.

With nuclear weapons. That's the difference

ok The concept does not change just because you change the weapon/method. you fire one at me, I will fire one at you.

When me and you are both the entire human race it does

The concept is the same - the scale is different.

The concept is the scale

We purposely lightened the mood.

 

[rockaction]

Can somebody explain to me how some of the people posting in this thread saying they understand or want to try and understand how a people can kill innocent children in school (even implying they are brave) are the same people posting in other threads condemning our interrogation tactics.

Sure.

I think the two are separate issues. I condemn what the Taliban did. I also condemn what our government did (though I am NOT equating the two- the acts of torture we committed were awful, but not nearly AS awful as what the Taliban did. So please don't misinterpret me here.)

At the same time I try to understand why the Taliban did what they did, and I try to understand why our government did what they did. You seem to believe that attempts to understand imply forgiveness. I strongly disagree with you. I want to understand so that we can try to prevent it.

I would ask for some sort of translation, but I'm sure Jonessed or Strikes2k will be here any second to get to the bottom of this.

I didn't think I was being that confusing. Understanding something does not imply moral acceptance. I can try to understand something but still regard it as evil.

Would be nice if you'd take your trail of tears and stalkers with you sometimes and let a thread breathe.

But that might be asking a lot I suppose. Carry on.

I just starting posting again in this thread after several hours.

My post is now the 14th consecutive post that has you, someone responding to you, or someone talking about you.

It's a trend, a bad one. I like you and all, but nothing is getting by the Tim moat for hours or days at a time in some threads. Just sayin.

problem is there are intelligent people that just won't engage anymore. I'm interested in this topic. I'm also pretty close to some special forces guys that have been on both sides of torture, as well as fighting the Taliban. I've talked to them about this today and I thought what they had to say was interesting, but I click here and remember it's pointless to wade into these threads anymore. I gave up years ago. so did many other good, thoughtful people.

So this is my fault? Do a lot of you really believe this- that my presence is preventing thoughtful debate?

yes. absolutely. you're the worst thing that ever happened to this board. there's a reason that a large contingent of the best posters on this board have withdrawn to a single thread.

This is so utterly douchey. I remember making fun of you for not being able to swim in anything but chummy waters. What makes such a tough lawyer and former Vegas line setter turn into such a skirt steak?

[T Bell]

As an American, from a strategic perspective, I can't help but think this will work against the Taliban. You do this to an American school and you will raise the ire of the whole country, resulting in a call to wipe the Taliban out. But I'm not sure it will have the same effect on the Pakistanis as they have historically been hit by aggressive attacks. Will it sap the fight out of the Pakistani military/gov't or will it result in a major push against the Taliban?

It could be a major blunder, this might seriously turn the Pakistani public against the Taliban. The problem is the northwest provinces are their own thing, several regions there support the Taliban and it's like a whole other country within the country.

Yep, their concept of "country" is a lot looser and less binding on them than it is here.
