Madrassa Roulette
Update 11 November : Postman Patel clarifies that the madrassa in question, located in the Bajaur Agency, was specifically targeted. And there has been a reprisal:
Is it just me, or do you have the impression that Pakistani President Musharef just drew a name out of a hat then bombed a random madrassa to please Mr. Bush?
...Earlier this week a suicide bomber killed 42 army recruits on an army parade ground at Dargai...

In ancient Arabic "Taleban Al 'Ulmi" litterally means "those who seek knowledge" i.e. "students"...
Parvez probably thought that after killing kindergarden kids in Karachi he too could say "mission accomplished"!

There was a CIA predator remote airplane involved, so the Americans chose the target. The Paks joined in.

Your utter cynicism appals. That a man of Musharaff's stature (?) (the shortly to be Ex President of Pakistan) would stoop so low just to keep up membership of the World Dictator Club?
He must realise however if he doesn't get a job teaching World Politics at Columbia soon his fuse has been lit.
I think it is a mistake to assume Mr. Musharraf wants to toady up to George Bush. By all accounts, Mr. Musharraf is a man of action who probably regards the American President as a bit of a pansy.
I think Mr. Musharraf was trying to provide a lesson on how to deal with one's annoying fellow countrymen for Mr. Busharraf - I mean Mr. Bush.
