They are now using animals, females and children to carry out their cowardly suicide bomb attacks, how much lower can they sink?

How much lower can they sink?

You're taking about the Taliban, right?

They're a terrorist organisation - is that correct?

Surely being a terrorist means that you've started out pretty low anyway?

Perhaps if they used blind puppies as suicide bombers...but that would cause all sorts of problems...
A little while ago there was a link to an item about the guys who sit at a desk and pilot a drone to attack people thousands of miles away, being awarded medals.

When I suggested that perhaps the medals should have yellow ribbons, there was much vitriol as I'd implied that it was a cowardly thing to do.

Can anyone explain to me why strapping a bomb to yourself a blowing your self up along with people you class as the enemy is regularly characterized as cowardly, but sitting in a safe office blowing people up by remote control is considered heroic?
So they would gain your respect if they stopped doing this?
It was the Japs who started the suicide cult with their Kamikaze pilots
but towards the end of the war they too were running out of volunteers.
Actually suicide attacks date back to 11th century India.
That's right modeller, I believe their best one flew 11 missions!
Never understood my Kamikaze pilots wore crash helmets.
^ sorry that was me :|

i think it is the commanders who send the Suicide Bombers who are accused of cowardice not the suicide bombers themselves because they are exploiting others

Particularly when the bombers are children or people who may have been forced or intimidated into doing it

However, that does raise the question of how you measure any difference between those commanders and those in a conventional army who are sometimes sending service people on missions or into situations where a safe return is very unlikely

In such cases they may ask for volunteers

But I suspect the Taliban commanders would argue that they do as well
'volunteers' ? I don't think it's as simple as that.
As low as all those allied commanders who sent people out on near certain suicide missions eh?

Ah but that's different because a foreign force had invaded another country

Oh - yes right
More "volunteers" after the 4:05 @ Aintree tomorrow :|

One has suggested they could be volunteers, they must have pretty intelligent donkeys.

It is also interesting to note that no comments have been made about the use of women and children in their suicide attacks.

Yes it was

at 15.38

regarding the donkeys; you may find that the debate took a more generic view of the problem, possibly because you failed to provide a link to the News item you had in mind
