It is hard to tell who is a soldier or a civilian, an adult of a achild, when a 10 year old boy blows up himself and 13 Israeli soldiers. Instead of the three "Rs" they are taught to hate the Jews. Heard the other day...."Peace may have a chance when the Arabs learn to love their own children more than they hate the Jews." Negotiations, more promises not kept, or giving up the occupied lands would be only another step in their long range plan to do away with Israel. There is no solution that will work except to do away with the radical leaders of the PLO.

correction.... It is hard to tell who is an adult OR a child.

I have a problem with suicide bombers; however, the situation where someone commits suicide to take out enemy soldiers, to me, is justifiable, and falls under acceptable wartime behavior. It is much different than intentionally targeting civilians. The problem I have with this issue is if it was a 10-year old boy, that is a real problem. Children in our country of that age can't drive, they can't vote, they are not supposed to have sex. They're still children. That makes the person(s) who coerced that child guilty of a most heinous and despicable act.

I wonder what the new UN War Crimes "law" would say about that. Is it a crime against humanity to intentionally send a youngster to do something like that?
