Pakistan: Taliban buying children for suicide attacks

Quote:
CNN
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- A top Taliban leader in Pakistan is buying and selling children for suicide bombings, Pakistani and U.S. officials said.

Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud has been increasingly using the children in attacks, the officials said. A video released by Pakistan's military shows the children training for the task.



Now Nebraska knows what to do with all those children.


On a serious note, this is scary and sick. Sick that they would do that to children who might not even know what they are doing. Scary because it will work...

Do you think the populations that are feeding these children to the Taliban, will, at some point, reach a level of outrage and fight back?

...in other words could they be reaching some critical level of inhumanity that is socially unsustainable?

One would hope and there are historical examples of this happening. Even if the populace supports the premise they'll lose their support with enough brutality. I'll lose a little more faith in humanity if quasi-forced suicide attacks by children doesn't provoke some kind of backlash.

I don't know. It took Vietnam invading Cambodia to stop the **** going on there so I'm not sure if there is any socially unsustainable level of inhumanity, especially around training child soldiers.

Don't see a difference in training child soldiers and child suicide bombers? I'm sure my cultural reference point has something to do with the distinction, which may mean it's not relevant to the average inhabitant of the area, but I see a clear line there.

Not really. You're training them to kill and be killed, either way.

Hmmmm....Blowing adolescent humans up using multi-million dollar drones versus blowing humans up using adolescent humans.

Wich do I find more disgusting?

Hmmmm....pretty fucking hard to justify either method really.

I'm sure someone will put me straight if the media fails to explain it to me properly.....

You're right, they are both unjustifiable.

There is something about killing off 'your own' kids however, that just seems like it's not humanely acceptable on a very basic instinctive level - like it runs counter to species proliferation.

I wasn't talking about individual feelings. Mr. Morallyaboveallothers.

I bet no one on this forum has killed their kids or others. We're with ya on that one bud.

Good point. Pakistani children can probably be bought for under $10k. My tax dollars are being wasted.

I had written a long post in response to paulsol's statement about how he couldn't decide which was worse, people killing other people's kids or people using their kids to kill other people and themselves. It was about war has never been fair and people have always committed atrocities believing they were doing the right thing. It ended with me saying how nothing short of a miraculous worldwide group hug and a promise to be excellent to each other would put an end to it.

But then I realized that posting it would have put me on the same high-moral pedastal that paulsol puts himself on, reducing my post to nothing more than a long winded diatribe that ends with the pot calling the kettle black.

So **** it... the next time the neighbor's kids are messing around in my yard they're getting tazed.

For that cost we should be dropping children loaded with explosives out of our drones instead of bombs that cost ten times as much. With today's economy the military really ought to look into cost-cutting like this.

Fuck the explosives. I assume getting hit by a kid dropped from 15,000 feet would ruin some terrorist's day.

Puppies don't have the energy density nor the specific impulse of an explosive-laden child, no matter how many napalm-laced dog biscuits you feed it.

The children are definitely worth more bang for the buck.

If they start importing kids from India and China that could go a long way to helping slow the population problem.

China & India are waist deep in children. If they gain this child-dropping technology, we'll have a droppable-baby-race on our hands and we're already on the losing end.

I can already see the propaganda posters. A WWII style affair with Uncle Sam pointing at the viewer and presiding triumphantly over a nursery full of newborn babies wearing camo onsies, ...

"You can't hug your children with nuclear arms, but you can arm your children with nuclear hugs.

Do your part, America!"
