I don't know if anyone caught pictures of these training camps on CNN, but these are scary operations. From the age of about 8 years old they get indoctrinated.

A reporter asked a class how many were willing to fight and die, and all hands went up. Then he asked who would PREFER to die rather than just win and survive, AND ALL HANDS WENT UP.

If that's elementary school imagine what college is like.

If these continue as they have been, even if we get Bin Laden, Sadam Hussein and the self-appointed leaders, we'll still have problems with thousands of highly trained suicide-driven militants looking to expend themselves.

I'd love to hear real background on decisions to set these schools up. My understanding is they only started during the war between Afgans and Russians.

He sits between the freaks in Afghanistan and a much larger India. Everyone is against him except a few renegade countries. He can't be stupid. And the military must realize this too - and support him.

These people get themselves into these messes by trying to play both sides of the fence. Sooner or later you have to decide. Tough. No sympathy here.
