Doomsday? Wait until after the heroin poppy season!
Many people predicted that the death of bin Laden would result in escalated violence. So far, after two weeks, the terrorists have managed to strap a twelve-year-old boy with a vest loaded with explosives, and he walked into a market in eastern Afghanistan and blew himself up, also killing seven civilians and injuring 34 others. A suicide bombing in Pakistan's northwest killed at least 80 people at a training academy for paramilitary cadets. The Pakistani Taliban declared that the attack — the first by militants since bin Laden's death May 2 — was revenge for the al Qaida leader's killing, though many experts doubted that claim.

the pre teen children were "recruited" from their madrass schools in Pakistan and sent to Taliban camps to be indoctrinated to kill.
This is a war crime. And it only proves that the Taliban isn't willing to die on their own.
And the bombing of the police recruits would have been done even if OBL was alive and well.
The real problem is a US press that doesn't notice that the "Taliban spring offensive" is a few kids and nut cases essentially committing suicide, not a mass attack on US forces.
Indeed, the nearest thing to a "mass attack" against a local village was fought off by the village itself, that used their own weapons to beat off the attack and used their cellphones to call in for help... and was a loss for the Taliban...bet you didn't read about that one either.
I still can't really grasp the concept that a mother or a father would allow that to happen. It still pains my soul.
