Peshawar outrage

At least 126 dead in Taliban school attack

Most of them children.

The gun battle continues.

The Taliban are in a long war to impose themselves and their Islamofundamentalism on Pakistan.

The army and the government have been playing footsie with them for decades.

As recently as last spring, The Taliban and the Pakistani government were involved in peace talks. 

The government released 19 Taliban noncombatants in a goodwill gesture.

But talks broke down under a wave of attacks by the Taliban and mounting political pressure to bring the violence under control.

Final score, 141 dead, 132 of them children.
