The Pendragon's Hall

It's amazing how objective the media can be when describing the actions of terrorists vis-a-vis those of the United States armed forces. As the Taliban surfaces again to disrupt the hugely-successful experiment in democracy currently in place there, the media mentions in passing that two bombings in Afghanistan killed nine school children--four kids and five teens. Instead of making this the focal point of the story, as they did with, say, the Iraqi prison abuse scandal, this is just one detail--oh yeah, they killed some kids. To me, this just signifies the kind of creatures we are up against. These are not human beings with justified grievances; they are subhuman trash, completely given over to hate and murder. They deserve what they get and those press people who hide this fact away while centerplacing stories of incidental civilian casualties from US forces ought to go out there and join them.
