Taliban....I cant believe this.

[VHG]

Are these people still living in the middle ages?

From BBC web site

"Pakistani Taliban say they carried out shooting of 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai, campaigner for girls' education"

Yes, apart from their weaponry.

[emmie]

Obviously our 6 years or so in Afghanistan have taught them nothing. Why should Afghan soldiers think any different to the Taliban...its in their blood.
Expect the country to revert to its original backward self when we leave.

Peasants.

[emmie]

we shouldn't have been there in the first place. Let the Afghan people sort out their own problems.

[ichkeria]

Nothing new there. The Taleban have been murdering children for years. The idea that all Afghans are uncivilised peasants who will 'revert to type' when we civilising Brits leave though is rather odd

[Flyhalf]

I can!

[emmie]

and they almost murdered this young girl, she has survived, miraculously.

[emmie]

and do they not kill one another now, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, for what reason?
