ok, lets say that those kids refused to do whatever. kids at that age don't refuse anything, their parents usually make those decisions for them. that is why it would make more sense to put the parents in prison as punishment.

Of all the threads describing the atrocities of Saddam's regime, this is one I felt sure would be free of his apologists. I really am that naive.

Marines combed the site of a Republican Guard junior training facility, and came across 15 bunkers full of rifles, anti-aircraft artillery, missile systems, rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons. "It's the largest cache of weapons since we crossed the border" from Kuwait, said Capt. Shaine Grodack. He estimated the cache was big enough to arm a regimental force -- a few thousands soldiers.

Wonder if that was the "unconventional" methods promised by the Defence Minister?

Guess the kids realized they were smarter than their government and didn't take up arms.

Glad we did not have to face them in battle, our troops don't deserve having to deal with a situation like that. Of course you know there are Peshmerga fighters with our special forces that are 12 yrs old and up.....
