Baby-faced children aim AK-47 rifles as they train for war on British troops. They are being taught about combat even if they can barely hold the lethal weapons.Shocking video shows toddlers as young as five being trained as 'martyrs' at a secret al-Qaeda camp. They are learning how to blow up buildings and mount roadside bomb attacks.British commanders in Afghanistan say Taliban fighters are increasingly using children as suicide bombers and as human shields during battles.

Being religious is synonymouswith mental disorders. Modern communication has exposed this as true. Modernity has made it much more difficult for the religious to silence their skeptics. Modern weapons not Holy Books keeps the religious relevant.

So, I guess this will make it easier to justify killing Iraqi and Afghan children.

So, I guess this will make it easier to justify killing Iraqi and Afghan children.

Or to be killed by them.

Do you think they will stop killing one another if the U.S. and allies leave? Do you think women will be seen as equals then? Women have the shortest life expectancy in the world in Afghanistan. Your comment suggests you don't care at all, and you blame it all on civil society.
