Re: Peshawar School Masacre

Another is maybe the Taliban is terrified of Israel....a staunch ally of the west, and the clearest representation of the west in the middle east. They seem like a very logical target, yet not even a peep threat, ever, from these barbarians. Retaliation would be swift and most severe. Frankly, I am...

I get why women might be leery, but the reality shows that it's more likely someone they know. Saying every man is a bit extreme.

why isn't there a photo ID required for voting? All they ask for is a signature, really that's it. Beer or cigs need ID, but not to vote. Not sure I follow this logic.
