The guys (and gals now) over at Anti-Strib have a long running series on Islam and why Americans have a hard time understanding it. Ok - I just can sugar coat it that much...the series is entitled "Why Islam S*cks" (this is a PG rated blog guys...). This story, I think, wraps all the reasons up with in one tidy package...

"Insurgents in Iraq detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle with two children in the back seat after US soldiers let it through a Baghdad checkpoint over the weekend, a senior US military official said Tuesday.
The vehicle was stopped at the checkpoint but was allowed through when soldiers saw the children in the back, said Major General Michael Barbero of the Pentagon's Joint Staff.
"Children in the back seat lowered suspicion. We let it move through. They parked the vehicle, and the adults ran out and detonated it with the children in the back," Barbero said."

The brave mujahadeen used two kids to get past a security checkpoint and then BLEW THE KIDS UP while they did their best Sir Robin imitation and bravely ran away!

When ever I see stories like this I think of the Golda Meir quote "Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us." and I weep for us and for the children.
