[QUOTE="Jones, post: 725642, member: 4805"] Go back and read my post again. I didn't say that religion had nothing to do with the attack, I said that "[I]Assuming[/I] this bombing attempt was planned and backed by the Pakistani Taliban (which seems fairly likely), religion wouldn't actually have much to do with it." We've been hitting those guys pretty hard on their home turf for the past couple of years, I would be surprised if they didn't want to respond in kind. Yes, the Taliban are religious extremists, but that's incidental. Their beef with us has more to do with the drone attacks and/or our occupation of Afghanistan. This is really all speculation at this point anyway, I'm waiting to see what the investigation turns up about this guy. There's a number of possibilities. [/QUOTE]
