How evil can evil get? This story coming out of Afghanistan says it all.

Taliban insurgents used an eight-year-old girl carrying a bag of explosives to attack a police checkpost in central Afghanistan, the Afghan government said on Sunday, making her one of the youngest child bombers of the decade-old conflict.

The incident took place in Char Chino district of central Uruzgan province, the interior ministry said. "The insurgents handed over a bag with a homemade bomb to an eight-year-old girl and asked her to take it to police forces," it added.

"As the girl was getting close to the police, it exploded and killed the girl."

evil is an interpretation. i don't see a fundamentalist christian suggesting one should not sacrifice his life if necessary to further the Cause. or suggesting that someone who does so is evil.

Man WHERE ARE YOU COMING FROM ad infinitum

Girlfriend, you need help,more than I could ever give.
Your statement shows me that I have little need to dialogue with you cuz I am not one to talk for talk's sake.
I hate debate with passion.
I ONLY share my faith is someone wants to hear about it,not to hear myself blabber.
You are clear about where you are coming from.It is not any place I care to go--debate wise or any other wise.

But, since it has taken that track, let me suggest the leadership of terrorist organizations don't believe what they preach. They say they are a culture of death for the cause of Allah, but in practice you don't find leaders of terrorist organizations strapping on explosives and blowing themselves up.

In practice, you find them tucked safely away from the action after having brainwashed the impressionable, the mentally incompetent and children who don't have a clue they're carrying explosives and are going to be blown up.

Hiding behind women and children shields while firing at the "enemy" or opening up with automatic weapons deliberately, against unarmed, defenseless civilians is the essence of cowardice. Ballsy, it is most definitely "not".

that does not mean that people don't do it with all sincerity.

the leaders not offering their own lives up is no more hypocritical than our own generals doing similar. the rationale being that LEADERS are more important than the footmen and therefore SHOULD NOT expose their lives to the possibility (or certainty) of death...who would lead then?

this i ALSO find abhorrent. as i do any gung ho warmongering. while i understand that the world as it is makes total peace currently unfeasible, i feel we are all too easily convinced that there is no other way than to bomb our enemies out of existence.

and, ami, you don't have to debate if you don't want to. but wasn't it you who quoted that "if you're not a liberal when young you have no heart, if not a conservative when older you have no brain"? which indicates some value given to the USING of said brain to consider issues and discuss them?!

It would certainly be easier and more cowardly to quit...but alas I know this is too obvious a point for you to understand.

That's interesting, because as far as I can see you're not different from the terrorists yourself. You like to talk tough, but what do you actually do? Nothing. You're a man of means, why don't you go hunt the unballsy?
