A couple of things caught my eye tonight, both over at Little Green Footballs. The first is about those human shields in Iraq. Did they really think they wouldn't be used by Saddam in the same way he uses his own people? Women, children, babies and now human shields all used to protect Saddam and his military. When things get rolling, do they think they will be able to make demands to the Iraqi military to be put where they want? Saddam will strip them, paint giant targets on them, and tie them down just so he can blame the Americans for killing them and make himself look like the victim. Here's the link. And here's the news link. This is one for the Darwin awards.

This next one is related but concerns the Palestinians. (more correctly, Arabs who live in the region of Palestine. They only started calling themselves Palestinians after the 1967 6-day war.) Palestinians also like to hide behind and use their children in war. They don't usually show you the photos but one slipped through. Here's the link. The terrorists send the kids out to throw rocks at the IDF forces and hide behind them and shoot Israelis hoping they shoot back and kill a child or two, again, to make the Israelis look bad. This doesn't happen in the childrens neighborhood either, they are taken to the IDF forces to be sacrificed for allah.

Why don't people find that appalling?
