Taliban acting badly - then it got worse
It won't be above the fold, beneath the fold, or behind the fold of the New York Times, but Muslims (which is what the Taliban are) made news today. First, they turned the vows between a groom and his bride into a bloody living hell , blowing up a wedding and killing dozens of guests. And, second, they hanged a seven year/old boy.
The boy was a "spy" according to the Taliban, so they hanged him from a tree. When I was seven, I climbed trees for fun, spying with pleasure on an innocent world.
