EIN News says, "35 Killed in Taliban Attack on Afghanistan Road Company. Taliban fighters attacked an Afghan road construction company before dawn Thursday, triggering gunbattles that killed 35 people and wounded another 20 in the worst single attack in months. (telegraph.co.uk)".
Take it at face value. The Taliban either did not want a new road. Or, they saw an opportunity to kill some people for more obscure reasons.
Either way, it is of no real concern to us. It does no affect our life style, whether there is a new road in Afghanistan or not. That is a decision for the Afghanis to make. If they feel strongly about it enough to kill each, that also is not our concern. Contrary to the apparent beliefs of our Federal Government, we have no reason to be in the business of nation building. Nor should we be teaching morality and ethics outside the U.S. We have enough problems with those matters here at home.
