A British young man, who'd been imprisoned for stabbing a homeless person when he was 16, got re-arrested when it was discovered he was watching bomb-making videos on YouTube and had fantasies of acts of terror in his diary. At the same time, terrorists were acting on their fantasies inAfghanistan, bombing a high school at a time when they knew female students would be there. Though the Taliban has denied responsibility, it does not bode well for the future if American and NATO troops are totally pulled out. Kids becoming terrorists or the target of terrorists… is not child’s play!
