ES, yes, they do volunteer, but they have often been taught that suicide bombing is a great way to martyrdom from the time they are old enough to comprehend. I forget whether it was Time or Newsweek, but one of the news mags had a picture of an infant "member" of Hamas wearing a fake bomb vest. Hamas confirmed that the image was real and not created b ythe magazine in the article.Quote:
A few facts..... Suicide bombers are not ripped from their mothers' breast. They volunteer often with the full knowledge and consent of the family.
They were, and over 200 of them came home in body bags, courtesy of the suicide bombers.Quote:
Why weren't the marines sent in there?
Most suicide bombers were from outside Iraq. However, the loveable little teddy bear, Saddam Hussein, was funding the terrorists. There were publicity shots of him handing $25,000 checks to the families of suicide bombers prior to the war.Quote:
And of course....that all important question....if these suicide bombers are Pakistani and Afganistan....why are we in Iraq????? The US military repeatly has stated that, until recently, most suicide bombers were from OUTSIDE Iraq.
Again, in many cases they've been "programmed" to be suicide bombers from infancy. Hard not to be proud to fulfill your programmed task.Quote:
Did you read the interview with a guy who is in training to be a suicide bomber (TIme or Newsweek....can't remember.) He is PROUD to do it.
The most important thing for the United States to do right now in Iraq is to stay the course and rebuild what was torn down, only rebuild it in a far better manner than the shambles of a government that was there prior to the invasion.
