this time it's the words "under god" in the pledge of allegiance. what do you think about this? >> this is so silly. it's not just that the atheists or the humanists are angry at god, but they hate the nation. you know, because the pledge of allegiance is essentially where the citizens of these united states of america say a pledge that we together as one nation under god, not individually, not particular belief in god or a particular faith in god, but under got. meaning that we understand that it is a deity that guarantees our right and keeps our country in order. now, whether they believe that or not, they should at least be willing to pledge their allegiance to a nation that has such order and such laws. but it's really their anger at god that is fueling, i think that is fueling this argument. and this lawsuit. frivolous lawsuit. >> it's sort of interesting because the school district the kids say the pledge of allegiance. the reason they are having the children say the pledge of allegiance is because there is a knowledge law that requires them apparently to do this every day

but what's interesting is i think they have allegiance and they have very similar stories. most of the pakistani talibans actually cut their teeth. they learn from the afghan-pakistaafghantaliban. they swear allegiance to the pakistan taliban but at the close people i would just say they are all the same. they certainly talk the same. when you need them, they say we have the same names. we might do different operations but we believe in the same thing, which is a very radical islamist -- they swear allegiance to mullah omar and have this weird relationship with the pakistani intelligence which is they are all actually -- which the word? they are children of the pakistani intelligence services. they were raised by them. and, of course, they do have relations with others. i would say you could put them all in the same basket. and have relations with al-qaeda. [inaudible] >> well, you see people try to make that argument. i don't really buy that actually, but i think the afghan taliban have to be a bit more, i would not call them nationalist as their islamist or cannot nationa
