Monsters who attack children

Letter September 14, 2011
The Taliban are nothing but illiterate goons who are out to destroy anything that is dear to the people of Pakistan.

TAMPA, FL, US: This is with reference to your report of September 13 titled “Mattani attack: Taliban target children”.

What kind of people would attack school children? These are ruthless barbarians who have no regard for human lives. Aren’t these the same people who earlier kidnapped young boys from Bajaur while they were celebrating Eid?

Children are the future of any nation, and these people who call themselves Taliban (students) kill to destroy the future of Pakistan. Is not their ideology to keep the coming generations illiterate so that they do not question their evil agenda? The Taliban have been tried and tested and they have failed miserably. They were rejected by the people of Afghanistan and now by the people of Pakistan. Are they not desperate, striking innocent school children who are just dreaming of a bright and better future? These are nothing but illiterate goons who are out to destroy anything that is dear to the people of Pakistan and Afghanistan — and what can be dearer than their children?

We have to keep hitting them from all sides and make sure that they are not capable of hurting our children and our future. We must stand united against them, their violence, and their hate — and defeat them.
