Let us not forget what kind of people we are fighting against.

Agence France Presse reports:

Al-Qaeda is using teenagers as suicide bombers in Iraq, U.S. Rear Admiral Gregory Smith said, as Sheikh Ahmed Abdul Ghafour al-Samarraie, moderate but influential head of the Sunni endowment, urged the jihadists to stop “strapping bombs to children.”
… Smith said two suicide attacks in Iraq last week had been carried out by 15-year-olds. “We are not sure whether one of these children even knew he was being used to deliver a bomb.”
One attack was carried out at a funeral ceremony near Tikrit, killing 17 people, and the other was at a school in Mosul
… Ninety percent of “suicide murders inflicted on Iraqi people are committed by foreign fighters brought in by Al-Qaeda in Iraq to spread destruction,” Smith added.

Of course, the Iraq-based terrorists and child abusers may have been inspired by the Iranian ones.

Last year, I wrote of how an Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander cited a 13-year-old suicide bomber as a model for his troops. (Fourth item here.)
