I've read the OP and your exchange with Imran repeatedly. There's nothing to suggest why this should be particularly newsworthy compared to all other grisly murders going on in the world.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

L.C., follow me on this, ok? Going to walk you through it.
Masked men killed kids strictly because of a difference in religious beliefs.
Not military. Not even adults. Kids. Kids on their way to school.
Imran's contention is that "the Bush way" would be to off a complete town.
My contention is, if masked men want to play by those rules, Imran's statement is invalid. We'd dust the town.
We don't, because it's wrong to indiscriminately murder people.
My "halfass" statement is because, they don't won't do a damned thing to their "brothers and sisters".
And how do I know this? Hvae they stopped it yet?
Have they made ANY efforts to take control of their country without severe prodding by, omg, Bush?
Hell no.
Took them months before the people DD says will fix it all, to even show their faces on the street and make SOME effort to do their job, which is token at best.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Well, there's no worries about Bush erasing the town anyways...he'd have to find it on the map first, and that means they're safe AT LEAST til his term expires....
And as to the girls...

Really?Originally posted by Urban Ranger
The passage quoted in the OP does not mention anything like that.
So you contend it was the after effects of a sporting event?
Maybe a falling out over cheerleader camp?
It has to be something more serious, I would think.
Not a scholastic competition though, so what might it be?
Let me look here real quick.
Ah yes, here we go.
"JAKARTA (Reuters) - Men in black clothes and masks beheaded three teenage Christian girls on Saturday in eastern Indonesia as they walked to school near the Muslim town of Poso, officials said."
Definitely young Christian girls. This much we've confirmed. Ok?
Well hold on now. What's this?
"Although religious fighting has largely subsided, tension is still high in the region following bombings in the neighboring Christian town of Tentena which killed 22 people in May. Security experts have said local Islamic radicals may have been responsible for the bombings in Tentena"
Slap me silly and call me Mabel.
Sure looks to me like a religious hate crime perpetrated against young girls.
I don't know for sure.
I realize my logical thought processes pale in comparison to you Einstein's; but I swear, that's how I read it.

Now easy Sloww - there are no reason to belive that it's religious based.
Locally six people has been arrested connected to a possible terror action - all of them deeply religious., but I am reliefed by the fact that three local imams has stated that it has nothing to do with religion since all religions are peacefully and don't accept violence.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Considering my earlier postings in this thread, I didn't thought that a

Oh, and thanks for learning me a new expression - that one I've never heard before

Pekka did you ever visit the Newsmax forums?I'm consitently stupid- Japher

Seeing that you believe I lack any sense of humor, can you point out to me the funny part of this remark of yours?
The unsaid portion was, "Would we be as outraged if these were 3 ugly middleaged old men?" Not that they deserve death any more or less, but the idea of 3 female kids (which we prolly assume, unconsciously, are 'hot' ) boils our blood that much more. So why is that?I'm consitently stupid- Japher

I have a very good, dear friend of mine and early in our friendship, he made me realized that usually when a person assumes something, and the assumption turns out to be completely wrong, he makes an *ss out of himself.Originally posted by Theben

So why are you assuming the mindset you explained above, is the actual mindset of everyone concerned?
