Taliban school attack Josh Rudes Pd.4

A group of gunmen entered a Pakistani school Tuesday, killing at least 145 children and faculty. The culprit? The Pakistan Taliban. Their reasoning for killing innocent children was simply revenge; revenge for "killing of hundreds of innocent tribesmen and their children" in a military offensive. The Pakistani military had launched a campaign to disperse tribal regions affiliated with the terrorist group. The school educated both boys and girls, and employed both men and women as teachers. This made it an obvious target for the anti-Western education and anti-female employment members of this Taliban. 

The people of Pakistan have every right to be outraged. This is an unnecessary course of action given the circumstances. There is no reason that any militant group should kill innocent people as simple revenge. I believe the only reason the Pakistani military is staging a campaign is because the feel threatened. The Taliban is, after all, a terrorist organization.
