   When making such allegations, it's usually considered a good idea to check    
   if it's actually true. It's possible, for example, that it was oh maybe    
   Hamas that did that and not the Taliban. You have internet access, why don't    
   you look that up & see if you're correct. And get back to us.   
      
   And my question was, "I'm no fan of the Taliban; but what's your evidence    
   that they're indoctrinating people to hate "the west"?" I didn't ask what    
   evidence you might have about indoctrinating people to specifically hate the    
   US, which is only part of "the west."
