Sums up why the Taliban hasn't been defeated. Too many warlords, factions, corruption by proper authorities. Parts of Pakistan are no different or any better, otherwise Bin Laden wouldn't have hidden out there for so long with help of the locals and government.

A shocking tragedy what happened to those kids, but the truth is this shit has been happening all around the globe every day since we could throw spears - the only difference now is we have cameras at every location to film it and bring it to our attention - and these guys are the enemies. Something needs to be done, sure, but the what, when, and how remains questionable. All I know is the West and Ruski's should stay the fuck away from big bombing runs and interventions that create more recruits and extremists.

Thus when stories spread of Pakistani military barbarity in the campaign against the Taliban in Pakistan – reports which included the execution of Taliban prisoners in Waziristan, whose bodies were left to lie upon the roads to be eaten by animals – the more certain became the revenge of the Taliban. The children of the military officers, educated at the army school just down the road from the famous Edwardes College in Peshawar – were the softest and most obvious of targets.

Just another episode in a viscious, nasty conflict fuelled by ideology and power....and CIA stirring....

Be careful quoting The Independent mate, it makes Tories and White Supremacists foam at the mouth. We don't need any more deaths.

I would not say its crap media but more media too frightened as they risk getting attacked/death when reporting.

The NZ media can report it.
It IS reported via other sources and pathways, so NZ can report it without much as a risk of a paper cut.


NZ media is laughable and, as I state, is more concerned with pointy-ball shit and pathetically pointless stuff. Most of the proper NEWS from around the globe never makes it to our outlets (tv, print, etc).

The problem of not enough international news being reported is ...

A myopic, insular and sycophantic view on things.
"Freedom of the press" is a concept lost on NZ journalism.

Watch yourself, you'll attract the attention of Katman about some brain spasm shit.
I noted what they (NZ media) seemed more concerned about was? will the cricket go ahead.

The problem of not enough international news being reported is that newspapers would have to be the size of phonebooks and who would want to pay for a phonebook size newspaper each day plus have time to read it? What is proper news to you could very well be real boring to many others too. The internet offers the solution to not enough news being reported here if you have all day to read all new international clips.

I think you'll find half an hour watching Aljazera or BBC World would suffice.

Here's an idea.... why doesn't Pakistan sort out the Taliban?

Or are we perhaps simply being fed stories in the hope we'll support future action in other people's shit that we should be keeping our fucking noses out of?

Who the fuck are we to tell people in other countries how they should govern themselves?

They have had many feigned attempts to do just that. Team America - Fuck Yeah! have popped over the fence a few times to help out, but this seemed to be unappreciated.
"Too hard" in NW (really, the bribes and backroom shenanigans are too damn good for the average Pakistani to walk away from. Just like Afganistan. Durka Durka).

Doesn't help the Paki's have been funding and training Taliban for years and supported their rule in Afghanistan due to their rivalry with neighbour Iran.

Mid East is a fucking nightmare to resolve.
