Michelle Malkin is right to refer to these young people as forgotten.

Still ignored. Still suffering. Still praying. Not that the world seems to care much, but there was a funeral in Seoul today for executed South Korean Christian missionary, Shim Sung-min, the second Korean hostage killed by the Taliban militants last month. Hundreds attended the service. Twenty-one South Korean Christians remain in captivity and under threat of execution

Many forget the barbary of the Taliban who imposed the harshest of Sharia laws on its people and gave haven to Al Queda when the left Sudan. One most never let the lines blur between the names of these groups or to let some former CIA know-it-all tell you they are not affilated somehow in some tortured nuance.
