During the Iran-Iraq War, the Ayatollah Khomeini imported 500,000 small plastic keys from Taiwan. The trinkets were meant to be inspirational. After Iraq invaded in September 1980, it had quickly become clear that Iran’s forces were no match for Saddam Hussein’s professional, well-armed military. To compensate for their disadvantage, Khomeini sent Iranian children, some as young as twelve years old, to the front lines. There, they marched in formation across minefields toward the enemy, clearing a path with their bodies. Before every mission, one of the Taiwanese keys would be hung around each child’s neck. It was supposed to open the gates to paradise for them.

At one point, however, the earthly gore became a matter of concern. “In the past,” wrote the semi-official Iranian daily Ettelaat as the war raged on, “we had child-volunteers: 14-, 15-, and 16-year-olds. They went into the minefields. Their eyes saw nothing. Their ears heard nothing. And then, a few moments later, one saw clouds of dust. When the dust had settled again, there was nothing more to be seen of them. Somewhere, widely scattered in the landscape, there lay scraps of burnt flesh and pieces of bone.” Such scenes would henceforth be avoided, Ettelaat assured its readers. “Before entering the minefields, the children [now] wrap themselves in blankets and they roll on the ground, so that their body parts stay together after the explosion of the mines and one can carry them to the graves.”

Sick demonic religion...

I’ve been telling folks about this piece of history for years to illustrate the demonic mentality of Iran. Iraq gassed the Kurds during the same war. “Religion of peace” my tuchis!

This is evil.
Those who fail to recognize it, pays the price.

After Iraq invaded in September 1980, it had quickly become clear that Iran’s forces were no match for Saddam Hussein’s professional, well-armed military.

LOL. It became clear (at latest after the Defense of Khorramshar) that Saddam's "professional, well-armed military" was no match for Iran's forces on Iranian turf.

Although the author's point isn't military history or strategy, this needs to be pointed out.

The Iran-Iraq war had essentially two phases:

1. Iraq tries to conquer Iran - Fails.

2. Iran tries to conquer Iraq - Fails.

The problem with Iran's military was primarily purges by the mullah regime against the Army officer corps, which were suspected of being loyal to the Shah. In a similar vein the Army was hamstrung by the "Revolutionary Guards". The Army tried to fight a conventional, "rational" war. The "Guards" insisted on suicidal frontal wave attacks inflicting heavy casualties.

The Army was professional, the Guards fanatical.

And despite the lack of continued support and spares for their primarily US/Western equipment (deliver en masse prior to 1979) the Iranian military, especially the Airforce showed professional superiority to their Soviet-supplied Iraqi counterparts, which outnumbered them in the final stages of the war.

Iraq despite massive international support (financial, militarily and politically) couldn't get anything more than a cease-fire (which Saddam pleaded for) and stalemate against the downtrodden and disproportionally under-supplied Iranians.

Q. How can Iran bomb Israel and not kill hundreds of thousands (millions?) of fellow Muslims?

A. They don’t care.

Muslims kill Muslims all the time. In Islam a man can kill a person, even his own family, for “insulting” him.

The average Muslim will kill 10s of Muslims for every one Infidel he kills. And women and infidels have no value at all.

What I point out is that Islam is no about converting people. In fact, one is much more likely to be killed as a convert because as soon as you convert, no matter which sect you choose, in that instant you have over 50% of all Muslims which will be in different sects from yours, who want you beheaded.

Islam is not about religion or conversion. It is solely about gaining power through murder. This is how it was founded and this will be its ultimate destruction.

Since they were being invaded, I think it had a lot more to do with the sick demonic leader, than it did with their religion.

primarily purges by the mullah regime against the Army officer corps,

Clinton did that to our own military starting with the excuse of the Tailhook scandal. The result was the poor performance in Iraq until the Clinti=onite bureaucrats were finally replaced in the field by officers with a sense of tactics and combat. At that point came the Surge which got the credit for the turnaround but it was really the combat capable officers coming up through the ranks and finally taking charge. The increase in troops certainly helped but a year before, no surge could have been effective because the command structure tended to be bureaucrats and politicals.
