A New Low

Hey all-
This story was posted today on cnn.com. It indicates a new tactic being used by terrorist forces in Iraq. In this instance, the terrorists in question used children in the backseat of a vehicle to lower suspicion of soldiers at a checkpoint. The soldiers waved them through, believing that the people in the car were merely a family going about their normal routine. Sadly, this proved not to be the case. Soon after passing the checkpoint, the adults parked the car and jumped out, leaving the children inside. the car then exploded, killing the children and three bystanders.

This attack represents a new low for a group that attacks the innocent as well as armed opponents. I did not think that it was possible to go much lower in honor than attacking women and children, but apparently I was wrong. Those two children were used as pawns and then were disposed of like yesterday's garbage. Surely, they were not jihadists giving their lives in a struggle against evil. No, these were children who probably did not know the sinister purpose of their final road trip. The terrorists who used these children effectively as human shields should not go to Paradise when they meet their end, but instead should burn eternally in Hell for this action. I do not know of any religion that condones the murder of children, or the use of children to murder others.
