oh man, kids with guns? give me a break. the throngs of people that surrounded the americans that i know that visited iraq had no weapons.. ive yet to hear anything about 9 to 15 year olds with guns in iraq. i'm willing to admit that maybe 1 to 5% of those 55% children have guns available by some means but again i know several people that spent weeks there and never saw one.

sad that americans are so quick to treat them as combatants.

id say it has something to do with racism.. its much easier to judge these people if we assume they are all hating zealots.

the folks i know were treated to a ton of hospitality even after the iraqis lost loved ones to our bombs. that says a lot about thier lack of a rush to judgement. i'm sure if the iraqi government accidentally blew up a few houses in my neighborhood they wouldnt be treated anywhere near the same if they visited here. :/
