That was LOOOONNNGGGG before we invaded Iraq now wasn't it?<BR/><BR/>And ever since Khomeni came to power Iran has been providing funds and training for groups that have killed Americans by the hundreds (Lebanaon Marine Barracks bombing for instance).Mike's Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262938295909490454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-1145566863879382882006-04-20T14:01:00.000-07:002006-04-20T14:01:00.000-07:00David, the closest that I can come to understandi...David, the closest that I can come to understanding this is linked with suicide bombers in Palestine, and with the Kamikaze pilots of Japan. There was an article some while back - <A HREF="http://probligo.blogspot.com/2005/12/suicide-pilots-terrorist-and-kamikaze.html" REL="nofollow">I posted on it here</A>.<BR/><BR/>It is an interesting insight into the suicide warrior's world.<BR/><BR/>I add to that the thought that when there is nothing left to fight with, you fight with your life for the life of others. We had a tv series ... "The Greatest Ever..." I think it was called. The greatest Weapon ever was not the nuclear bomb, or any other invention. It was the combination of the human body and the human mind.<BR/><BR/>As for child soldiers, take a look back into the scrapbooks of the early 1940s in Britain. See the photos of kids - boys of 10 to 15 - drilling with "play" weapons? Do you think that those toys would not have been replaced with the real thing had the Germans landed in Britain?The probligohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882103150181414348noreply@blogger.com
