A seven-year-old boy was murdered by the Taleban in an apparent act of retribution this week. Afghan officials said that the child was accused of spying for US and Nato forces and hanged from a tree in southern Afghanistan. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/afghanistan/article7147378.ece

It would be nice if we could take the way back machine and smack Regan upside the head. It would have been so much better all the way around had we just let the Russians smack these people around back them.

Why would this "surprise" people? Ok, maybe the "lefties".

2 posts before this became partisan? Wow! This is not a partisan issue. This is a human issue. Shame on you for trying to turn it into one. edit: to clarify

These are the same people and their brand of radical Islam that the Russians called the biggest threat to the stability of the region. These are the same people who called the Russians evil devils because they dared to do things like educate women. Should I continue? You wanna talk about the things they did to children who the Russians had given shots? These are the same bastards we decided would make pretty good buddies because "hey they don't like the Russians". Karma is a bitch and sometime we get exactly what we sow.

I try to keep an open mind but some of the Muslim countries are just plain insane and brutal.

It seems as if almost no one has. edit: spelling

How come Obama wants to "kick some ass" when it involves some people in suits but not al qeada or the taliban? Yeah, he's a real tough guy alright!

As an American we are prone to arrogance about our country but everything is not about US. This was a real tragedy. This child is a hero and a martyr. He was killed because his family dared speak out. I pray that his death will be a call to arms to more people in that area to fight for their rights.

This is just the type of society the Muslim does not want but the peasants can't defend themselves. The radicals also know that it is the mineral wealth of the area the west wants to exploit and will use violence to stop it. Here

Let`s not go there,not on this thread.We can hash out why and who on another. I can`t imagine how his family feels.

OK. Partisan ? How about Termyzan ? Rachel Corrie. Hundreds of soldiers in jail in Israel for refusing to serve in the occupied territories and the reasons they cite for their rebellion against their government. People watching TV with glee seeing our missiles hit buildings in Iraq with pinpoint accuracy, having no idea the there are PEOPLE in those buildings. Randy Weaver's olady up at Ruby Ridge. The Katyn forest massacre. Why did I even bother typing this ? Fucking savages are running this planet. Got any suggestions ? T

Things will only get worse over time, so just suck it up and enjoy life as best as you can now, while a few crumbs of joy can still be had. And be thankful you're not 20 years younger, like the young ones who will live to see the worst of what's coming.

Mustard, you got a way with words there. You are expected in the "Doomsayers" thread. T

Very sad of course and a tragedy for the family - but this is what war is about, and whether the boy is hanged, shot, blown to pieces, starves or is crushed under a collapsed building is merely something for the statisticians to concern themselves with. Our western, Hollywoodesque views of sanitised warfare with rules and warcrimes have no place in the reality, and the sooner we all wake up to that and understand what war is, the sooner maybe we might be more reluctant to call for it or support it, as much as we support the troops once the idiots we keep electing have decided on another. If this instance has made an impression on you, keep it in mind for the next time our glorious leaders start their patter, and name this image war, so you will remember that the old lie truly is the old lie.

Well I can't speak for you folks in the UK, but most of the people I know over here are aware that hollywood doesn't always portray things the way they really are. Most movies are made for entertainment not history lessons. As to the OP. I think DS said it best.

I've spoken to a fair few Americans who seemed to think that Saving Private Ryan was a documentary...
