U.N. Building Attacked by Taliban in Kabul, Afghanistan

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The Taliban has taken responsibility for an attack against a guest house used by U.N. staff in the Afghan capital of Kabul. Early reports place the death toll at seven. The Taliban claims it was an assault on the upcoming presidential election, of which they have also threatened any Afghanis that are willing to vote.

The attack was carried out by three gunmen wearing suicide vests, grenades and machine guns.

The attack shows that the terrorists don't see any difference between appeasers like the United Nations, and forces willing to stand up and fight against them. Therefore, it seems it would be wise to confront the enemy, rather than try to appease them. At least in a fighting posture, you have a chance to stop the madness, or at least defend yourself.
