What a fucked up world we live in.

Israel always gets away with their crimes; whenever the UN tries to do something the USA vetoes it

This makes my blood boil:

The army's official account said that Iman was shot for crossing into a security zone carrying her schoolbag which soldiers feared might contain a bomb.
This is an area of the world where kids are used as suicide bombs. Ask any Canadian soldier that has been deployed to Afganistan, one of the hardest things coming back is learning that kids are just kids. They are taught on base to not interact with any of the kids that come up the the fence, cause they might blow up.

I don't blame the soldier as much as I blame that entire area of the world for allowing such atrocities.

read the articles again
the girl dropped her bag and the solider fired at the bag to make sure there were no explosive, then he decides to shoot the girl while she tried to run away from the post.

In the recording, a soldier in a watchtower radioed a colleague in the army post's operations room and describes Iman as "a little girl" who was "scared to death". After soldiers first opened fire, she dropped her schoolbag which was then hit by several bullets establishing that it did not contain explosive. At that point she was no longer carrying the bag and, the tape revealed, was heading away from the army post when she was shot.

I don't need to read it. One of my best friends and his wife have both served in Afganistan. You may not like this policy, yet it is what brings troops home safe:

"Anything that's mobile, that moves in the zone, even if it's a three-year-old, needs to be killed. Over."
The real crime is people in these regions that have made society fear a kid with a backpack.

what?? so your best friends and his wife shoot suspect civilians running away from them?

I can see your point if the child kept on approaching them and ignore their warning. But obviously that's not what happened here. A child running away from you CANNOT hurt you. He didn't do it out of fear for his own safety.

this world is SOOO fucked up!

DC5-S 09-02-2010 02:42 PM
thats crazy, he already shot the bag there was no bomb in it.. they could have just chased after her and apprehended her

Have you ever seen a little girl with a backpack blow up? I haven't, yet I can sympathize with soldiers who have and are now over protective.
