#1 Driving the jihadists out of Iraq and blocking their return is not sufficient. We must destroy all states that harbor or support terrorists aka jihadists. Not invade and rebuild -- destroy. There must be a steep price paid by people who allow their state to be used to such ends. My guess is that after two states suffer such destruction, a lot of people around the world will be strongly motivated to quickly get rid of their tyrannical government.

And at home we should try for treason any politician or intellectual who opposes or undermines this strategy.

#2 "Al Qaeda is using children to pick up weapons and ammunition knowing that U.S. troops will not shoot against children,"

That needs to change. Just as with kids kicking around body parts of our battlefield casualties. Once enough parents bury enough of their children, they'll realize that al Qaeda gets them and their spawn killed. Maybe then they'll begin reporting al Qaeda's actions to the authorities. If not, we will continue killing them and their children until they no longer pose a threat to us, now or generations in the future.

These are not civilians, they and their children are active combatants. This is simple chlorination of Iraq's gene pool. Those foolish enough to wade into the deep end of things need to have their DNA fragmented. It is one of the most basic functions of war.

#3 Although it must be remembered that Al Qaeda isn't beyond threatening or holding hostage entire families in order to get a child to participate.

#4 Although it must be remembered that Al Qaeda isn't beyond threatening or holding hostage entire families in order to get a child to participate.

So, then their child goes out, gets killed and they blame al Qaeda who forced the whole issue. Plus, al Qaeda and other insurgents really don't have the time to hold entire familes hostage just to get some kid to play fetch for them. Think of the disproportionate manpower involved. Even if they threaten to come back later, the family should use that time to let the authorities set up an ambush. Iraqis must be made to realize that al Qaeda is not their friend. No better way exists than having their kids getting shot up.

Either families are not overseeing their young, unlikely from what I know of Arab culture, or they are knowingly let their kids participate in anti-American efforts. That makes them, right down to the brat, enemies and the sooner more of them are dead, the safer our troops are.

Cold-blooded? Yew betcha. Nothing less will win this war. Wars are supposed to kill people, preferrably your enemies, be they men, women or children. Those who are most indoctrinated against America are the likeliest to participate in this sort of crap and it is our duty to make them pay the price for it.

Like Patton said:

"Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his."

If these Iraqi bastards of any age are ungrateful enough to help kill their American liberators, then we are obliged to kill them first.
