KARACHI, PAKISTAN -- A suicide bomber blew up his sport-utility vehicle in the middle of a village volleyball game in northwestern Pakistan on Friday afternoon, killing 75 people and injuring more than 100 in a community that has repeatedly defied Taliban extremists.
Police speculated that the horrific bombing in the village of Shah Hassan Khel, in the Lakki Marwat district, was an act of reprisal against area leaders who last year formed private militias to oppose the Taliban and recently turned in a group of extremist fighters to the authorities.
The attack was the latest in a string of bombings across Pakistan that have increasingly targeted civilians and killed more than 500 people since September. The Taliban has asserted responsibility for many of them but denied carrying out others.

We should keep them boxed in. However, I am not sure Obama is up to the job.
Wow. You can only hope that typical, cowardly, Islamic terrorist attacks like this one harden the normal people to the point where they want to eradicate Taliban and al-Queda terrorists.
His spirit.
There can be no other explanation for it.
We must know it for what it is.
Maybe he was pissed because the beer ran out? Or am I projecting my own cultural milieu here?
The Left like to assert that terrorists are merely “insurgents” who offer “social services” to “the poor.”
This act is exactly the kind of “social services” that terrorists specialize in.
Must have been a volleyball in that Art Therapy Kit, Rehabilitation, 1 EA that we sent over there to help out the militant Muslims with their violent tendencies, that triggered a latent response. /s
It's those lousy SUVs again!
“The Left like to assert that terrorists are merely insurgents who offer social services to the poor.
This act is exactly the kind of social services that terrorists specialize in.”
So then they say “lone extremists, most of them aren’t like this etc. they give the rest a bad name”
It’s not about facts to the left any more. It’s just about winning the argument.
I would boil it down even further: it’s less about winning the argument and more about winning, period.
For the most part, the Left doesn’t debate as such any more. All of their positions have become undebatable either through pseudo-”science” (”Global warming is settled science. There can be no more debate”) or pseudo-”morality” (”Health care / entitlements / undocumented worker rights is a moral issue and is above politics.”). If forced to argue issues, they have nothing but ad-hominems (Bush is stupid” or “Rush is a racist”) or tautologies (Ann Coulter is bad because she’s evil). Total intellectual bankruptcy.
