Given all their atrocities, it is sad to see even one person defend the Taliban in anyway. Earlier this week four young Afghan street children between the ages of 8 and 17, who sold trinkets for living and in their free time enjoyed skateboarding, were killed by a teenage suicide bomber who attacked the NATO headquarters in the embassy district of Kabul. (Watch a short video of Afghan skateboarders) Skateboards help Afghan youth scrape by - YouTube These young children had their whole life in front of them, but it was cut short by another child – a suicide bomber. Without any remorse whatsoever, the Taliban train preteen and teenage children to blow themselves up and kill other innocent people. Defending this sort of behavior is indefensible.

Re: Child Suicide Bomber Killing Innocent Children
^ Is US directly attacking innocent kids? How could you compare man? Hud hoti hai
Yes they are. When a drone is fired on a house, all you hear about in the media is that 'Alqaeda number 2/3/4 was killed in a drone strike'. You never hear about the collateral damage. Common sense dictates that a house will have a family living in it, women, children and all, and if a missile is fired at the house, yes, a terrorist may die in it, but so will innocents.
For Mr. CENTCOM, just because someone is opposing US aggression in Afghanistan/Iraq etc, doesnt mean they are siding with the Taliban/Alqaeda. 99% of Pakistan hates and opposes suicide bombers.
