Taliban 'hanged boy, 12, for spying for UK' (click here)

...The gruesome murder, which occurred in Sangin, an area held by British forces since driving out the Taliban in April, sparked outrage among politicians, who accused the al-Qaeda-linked militant group of atrocities against villagers. It was the second execution of a child attributed to the Taliban in three months....
So. The recent hanging of a six year old is what the Taliban call propaganda. They don't believe in written or visual arts when it comes to propaganda, they rather hang a perfectly innocent child that might even admire soldiers to oppression the population.
When are Afghan citizens going to rise up against their oppressors? Never? They have soldiers at their side and they still won't stand up to this hideous treatment. They don't believe in human rights? Or. Ahhhh...is this just a bad neighbor Afghan style?
How is NATO and Great Britain ever going to instill the sense of self-preservation in these people?
Afghan insurgents hang 8-year-old boy (click title to entry - thank you)

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Insurgents in southern Afghanistan hanged an 8-year-old boy six days after they abducted him, the Afghan government said Sunday.
The boy's captors had demanded that his father, a police officer, supply them with a police vehicle and he refused, said a statement from President Hamid Karzai's office. The militants hanged the boy Friday in Helmand province's Gereshk district.
"President Karzai both strongly condemns this act and rejects it as a brutal and cowardly crime that is not acceptable in any religion or culture," the statement said. It referred to the killers as "terrorists," but did not say if they belonged to the Taliban or another of the insurgent movements fighting foreign forces and their Afghan allies....
I just don't see it. 2007 was before President Obama took office and after the country was abandoned by "W," but, not by NATO and the 2007 incident was in a British held area.
?????????????????????
What are we doing there?
