| Bomb Attack Kills 9 Children, 1 Adult in Afghan School |
| 2004-08-29 |
| In Afghanistan, a powerful bomb explosion has killed at least nine children and injured 15 others. A separate attack on election workers has caused the United Nations to suspend its operations temporarily in the eastern part of the country. Afghan officials and the U.S.-led military coalition say the children were killed Saturday evening when an explosion ripped through a school in the town of Zormat, in the southeastern Afghan province of Paktia. A U.S. military statement says that coalition personnel provided immediate emergency medical treatment to the injured. It condemned the attack on civilians and said the coalition is assisting local authorities in the investigation. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. Afghanistan's south and southeastern provinces are still considered strongholds of fugitive members of the ousted Taleban government. In another development, U.N. spokesman Manoel de Almeida e Silva told reporters in Kabul that a U.N. vehicle came under bomb attack in the eastern province of Nangarhar. He said the occupants escaped injuries, but U.N. operations there have temporarily been halted. "[The] preliminary report is that this improvised explosive device had a remote-controlled system. The U.N. has suspended road missions to Rodat district temporarily until we have a clear understanding of what actually happened," he said. |

| #25 Otherwise her people's future will be squashed under tank treads. Whether Gentle recognizes it or not, the intolerant, extremist side of Islam is increasingly irritating the cultures in the world that have the capability to wipe any city off the planet in a single volley from afar. I'm not suggesting that this may happen soon. I'm suggesting that she turn her attentions to the Islamic provocateurs. Eventually American leaders will tire of using tank treads at great political cost and will turn to more expedient means. We nuked Hiroshima not because it was the only way to win but rather because we were tired of spilling American blood in the fight. If provoked enough, we can set Middle Eastern Islam back to a few tribes among the dunes in short order. Don't mess with us, Gentle: save yourself by teaching the peaceful Islam to your Islamic fanatics. |

| #24 Common sense (aka "LOGIC") really is beyond your grasp isn't it Gentle? |

| #23 But she's young and educable to the views outside of Arabia. Is she? We have only the posts made under the name "Gentle" to establish an identity. We don't know who's really posting under that name. |

| #22 98Z, I agree. It's better to engage her in debate and correct her when she is wrong. But it really hard not to hammer her when she spouts crap such as Jews making pastries with Muslim children's blood, though delicious as it may be. But she's young and educable to the views outside of Arabia. If the Arabs are to have any future, people like her will have to realize others have a right to a life and religion not under the domination of Allah and Mohammed. Otherwise her people's future will be squashed under tank treads. Once she sees the light, hopefully she can impart her newfound wisdom to her acquaintances. |

| #20 Can we really be so hard on Gentle? (Yes, but...) Think about it. The problem starts with the parents. If they raised, taught, and encouraged her in this manner is it any surprise the way she turned out? Unfortunatley, when she starts pumping out puppies herself, the vicious cycle just starts anew. |

| #18 Gentle is just another Nazi Arab who tried her taqqiyah on us. It failing and her being called out, she reverted to her Arab supremacist combination of arrogance and self-pity--providing us not an occasion for sympathy, but a reminder of how close her culture is to being absolutely destroyed. |

| #16 Frank G: a liar, a bigot, and an idiot Frank, you shouldn't insult liars, bigots and idiots. Gentle's a Muslim. That requires no further elaboration. |

| #10 I can't remember you saying that ISRAEL was baking those special breads, Gentle? |

| #9 right - that's why you posted the "blood libel", yesterday, because it was about Israel, not Jews....oh, wait, it wasn't, was it? That makes you a liar, a bigot, and an idiot - 3 for 3! |

| #7 I'm with Gentle, this sounds like a kitchen accident. |

| #6 Of course not. Must have been some of those human blood filled Jewish bread exploding. Does RESPONSIBILITY mean anything to you? |
| Posted by: True German Ally 2004-08-29 2:29:19 PM |
| #5 Do the words: "No one has claimed responsibility for the attack" mean anything to you?! |

| #3 Hope one day Afghans will open their eyes about Islam and shariah as instruments of foreign domination. Some already have, we need more of them |

| #2 Congratulations Great Taleban Warriors! You have taught those children a great lesson. I am sure your mullahs are very proud of you. Unfortunately, the last sentence is not meant to be sarcastic. |
