Seriously though. The bombing Mick-Boy brought up is one of the reasons we're over there. We're not there because we can save Afghan children, because we can't save Afghan children. We're there because we don't want that kind of activity here in our cities, on our streets, in front of our churches. Like I said before, we're going to fight this war whether we want to or not and I'll repeat - If we don't take it to them, they'll bring it here in Hometown, USA.

The only people who are going to stop these mass murders are Afghanis, once they get sick of it they'll end it. It is painfully obvious to me that they are not sick of it yet.
In the same vein. My brother spent many a tour over there teaching the locals how to diffuse IED's, recognize the various explosive devices and also keep them updated on the latest way "hostiles" were using attractive items to plant bombs in.
One of their favorites was to plant a small device on the top cover of thermos. They would drop them randomly here and there where water was in limited supply. hoping someone would open the top for a drink, killing or maiming them and anyone within a 10' area.
They left them in populated areas NEVER caring who found them, soldier, men, women or children.
