Terror Recruits?

Harsha commented on the movie to me in person, and I thought it was pretty insightful...

How different was AB's character from the scores of so-called terror recruiters brainwashing and using small  kids in the holy jihad against "occupying" forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kashmir, for that matter? He used innocent school kids barely in their teens in a poorly planned plot, and really, leaving them to their fate while he himself escaped and took refuse for months with his sweetheart, until he was finally captured and killed. I'm not belittling the sacrifices, nor am I in any remote way justifying what's happening today, but I think we do need to question history sometimes!
 
Sometimes, it's all about a different POV!
