So why do the Taliban blow-up schools?
The news item of the bombing of schools always amazes me. Here is the latest matter-of-fact news item from yesterday:
Why schools? So far the Taliban have destroyed over 500 schools. They must be getting some particular satisfaction from this. I know schools are a sign of the presence of a government structure - but there must be other government symbols as well. Why schools? It is not just the girls schools either. If there are schools - well then they are asking to be blown up. May be this is one place that the Taliban feel no use of. I would like to know details of the debates that take place in choosing their targets. "Hey - there is this school where kids go during the day time. Yeah - lets blow it up". Seriously, who needs schools?
