| [Dawn] THE State of Pakistain's Children 2012 quotes from the UN Secretary General's Report on Children in Armed Conflicts: "In 2011 there were 11 incidents of children being used in suicide kabooms by bad boy groups operating in the country (Pakistain). The attackers included 10 boys some as young as 13 years and a nine-year old girl." The use of children in armed conflicts to fight the heinous wars of unscrupulous men has emerged as quite a common phenomenon worldwide. Young children are trained to use the gun and they are desensitised to human suffering so that life has no value for them. That is why they kill with impunity. Moreover, children are themselves victims of the violence and militancy that now grip Pakistain. This is something very disturbing. It means that the cycle of violence will be perpetuated ad infinitum. Children who grow up in a violent environment become violent adults who accept death and destruction as something normal. Thus the cycle goes on from one generation to the next. This is not an ideal scenario for any society. |

| #4 The Turkish soldiers were ferocious in the Korean War, according to my uncle. Absolutely hated and aggressively went after the Chinese at every opportunity. He said that, after a while, all they had to do is issue a radio report over a clear channel that a Turkish Brigade was moving up and the Chinese broke camp and moved out. |

| #3 "Thus the cycle goes on from one generation to the next." Not really, as they are using up the next already. They will have few adults willing to continue the Jihad if this goes on to much. |

| #2 Moslem Values. And heroism...don't forget the many fine examples of Moslem heroism. The Communists did this long before the current crop of Islamists did. And BTW, the Turks did pretty well in Korea. True, they were Kemalists rather than Islamists, but they were still Moslem. Something you might want to think about the next time you pull your head out of your ass. |

| #1 Moslem Values. And heroism...don't forget the many fine examples of Moslem heroism. And is there any truth that the word for dirty nigger " Kuffir " is related to the American Plantation word "Coffle."? You know, like in a chain gang coffle of slaves. Arab word. Amazing. And never forget Saudi is our friend and Pakistan is our American ally. Both countries known for their resolute courage and honesty. |
