There lies the root of your denial, along with other hard-headed liberals that just don't seem to get it.

One is lone crazed person, the other is a political, religious, and economic movement of millions of psychos.

The attack by the Taliban was in reprisal for Pakistani attacks on them.
The reports I have seen say that there are two distinct groups over there, the Afghan Taliban and the Pakistan Taliban. The Afghanis are laying low for now, waiting for us to leave so they can go back to business as usual.
The Pakistan Taliban are fighting the government for control of the area they occupy, with the eventual objective of taking over more of the country.
Everything I have heard indicates that our intelligence people believe that the Pakistan Taliban represent a much bigger threat to us than the Afghanis. If they can gain full control of even part of the country, they have a much stronger base for terrorism, especially if they can capture any of Pakistan's nukes, or even just some of their nuclear material.

Crazies are still crazies whether they operate as group or alone. The right thinks the politics and/or religion and/or money drive them. It is not. It the bad wiring in their brain. A crazy in Texas is the same as a crazy in Pakistan. That the thing the right does not get. "If crazy who holds right wing values kills some one then he is a crazy. If crazy who holds values that right wing disagrees with then the crazy is an agent of those values." That is the way right wing thinks.

This is nonsensical.
As of now, we can't identify every single "lone" crazy that either goes off his meds or is given meds that drives him to act out. Fortunately, they are few and far between given we have 300m people in this country. We should do our best to make sure they do no harm no matter their religion or politics. The key being, they act independently.
We can identify many of the millions of religious crazies that think killing innocents is a legitimate political tactic. The key being, they are extremists that act in the name of a religion and political philosophy as a group.

Call me Islamophonic, but don't you think there's something fishy about a religion whose adherents are so insistent that their religion stands for peace,
that they're prepared to kill you if you question it? And even more so in this case to kill muslim children in revenge.

I have to admit the point of the thread is somewhat scattered. But there is a salient point to be made here. The Taliban was a direct target of the war in Afghanistan. Over 2000 American soldiers have lost their lives pursuing the Taliban in Afghanistan. Including two in the last week. Yet our fearless leader is winding down operations within the next 60 days without any apparent follow on plan.
This event will be forgotten within a few days and there are still 200 missing Nigerian schoolgirls. Forgotten via the news cycle. Once again the news cycle reigns supreme. A few well-placed cruise missiles would make a bold statement I guess on what has occurred in Pakistan. And Pakistan would do nothing. A follow on demand to release the doctor who helped us get Osama bin Laden would be way too bold for anyone in this admin to conjure up.
Oops, I'm Thinking like Reagan again........

And you are wrong, as usual.
I am not a Democrat - nor am I a Republican.
How did you interpret that I am okay with over 100 kids being murdered?
Because I didn't blame Obama for it?
Furthermore - do you really think I would be fine with a massacre of children?...your anti-left obsession now has you believing that that I am okay with kids being murdered.
Get

Goddamned
Clue

How did you interpret that everyone here is blaming Obama? The blame is for his failure to comprehend the situation. Another Obama "Jay Vee" moment.
