I guess thats why "human rights" groups and Gov.Media have nothing to say about children made into bombs.  After all the Taliban are representatives of the "religion of peace"  ...pieces?

 more "selective outrage" by leftists/statists.

I don't know about the legitimacy of the cry for "Where's The Outrage".  This story ... from Sun Myung Moon's personal rag ... is dated July 2.  Either it's a scoop (hooray for the Times), or -- given the history of this publication -- something that reputable sources have not yet been able to confirm or verify.

That said, every time in the past when stories have been told of children being conscripted to conduct acts of terror, I have heard outrage expressed on both sides of the political spectrum.  I know that I am offended and disturbed, and I don't think anyone on this list would confuse me with a clear-eyed right-winger.

The Taliban, on the other hand, are indeed Muslim ... just as those who plant bombs in doctor's offices or murder surgeons are Christian.  And the latter, if they had there way and were able to either secure a majority vote OR accede to power in some other way, would have the full force of a state behind them, as the Taliban once did.
