issue a fatwa (religious decree) against using children in conflicts.

Having to ask them in the first place should speak volumes.

How about a fatwa prohibiting ALL suicide bombers?
(that includes The Children^TM)

They're running out of older homicide bombers who might question the *mission*? Go figure!

Next maybe he can work on that beheading thing.

Gee, there is an idea, no using kids as walking bombs in conflicts....Duhhh, why dint we think of that... They must be really SMART!

Hey Lizards! That last flight of stairs was hard.

We had a Vettrinarian out here do jail time for beating a Canada goose to death with his golf club on the back nine here a couple years back. Guess he didn't do house calls

The UN Security Council passed a resolution in 2005 to set up a working group to monitor the situation not only with regard to child soldiers but all other grave violations against children in war time.
The resolution 1512 foresees targeted measures and sanctions against those who perpetrate this crime.

I foresee absolutely nothing coming from this resolution except the warm, fuzzy feeling the hypocrites at the un will feel for having "done" something for the children.

“We would like that religious leaders of Iraq and the Muslim word,[sic]

Madam Coomaraswamy needs to first understand that there is no difference between Muslim "Leader" and Muslim "Religious Leader."

Islam is a totalitarian political system.

The first cleric stated, "We plan to do so, as soon as we love our children more than we hate all infidels, inshallah."

No one at the UN watches HamasTV.

Can't wait for the Islamic definition of "child".

They're definitions of words sorta sucks.

If it's children doing the bombing, then unless they are extremely mature, or are very depressed, it seems "suicide" is less accurate than "homicide" bombers, as I doubt the children have made an un-coerced decision to push the button.

I _do_ wish her good luck with that.

I just hope she's not too disappointed when she doesn't get it. There's no Pope of Islam--anyone can call himself an imam and start slinging fatwas.

The second cleric asked, though, disagreed, "Yes. The children are so weak, we cannot make bombs big enough to kill more than a few infidels, yet small enough for them to carry."

Could the UN demand a co-issuance of a fatwa against firing rockets into Israel along with this one?

/ yeah, I didn't think so

What a bunch of mind-numbed morons the libs in the UN are.

"We are seeing this phenomenon of child suicide bombers beginning now in Iraq. For the first time there are reports about that," the UN Secretary General's Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Radhika Coomaraswamy, No, it is just you, Radhika Coomaraswamy, who is just now seeing this phenomenon for the first time. "Are a Swami" my butt. Should be Coomarasdumby.

How about a fatwa recognizing the Commands of God, one of which is, "Thou shalt not kill"?

re: #17 mikeinmd
"Children up to the age of 10 months shall not be permitted to wear bomb belts. To be eligible, child must be able to stand and walk on their own" "Children must be properly restrained in a government approved carseat while being driven to the bombing site" Infractions punishable by death.

So it can be like a ride at Disney Land, if you are 52" inches tall the bomb belt is yours for keeps.

Boy that would be the only ride I would hope I am never eligible for.

Hmmm, how 'bout a fatwa decreeing children get to go to school, eat pb&J sandwiches, play softball and enjoy a school dance. How 'bout a fatwa that let's kids enjoy being kids instead of standing in the street yodling with an AK and a bomb back pack. How 'bout that!

I thought it was the only thing they watched...it's just that they believe it.

This might work out in one sense. The UN guy makes the request. The Islam clerics issue a fatwa - not the one the UN guy wants but rather against him and the entire UN. The spineless UN promptly shit themselves and go into permanent hiding and we're rid of those useless fools. OK - we're stuck with the radical Islam types - but they will be easier to deal with in the absence of the UN. Just thinking....

Why would you think you could reason with people who conceived of using little kids for such monstrousness in the first place?

Plus, they are not considered "children" by Mohammedans, but just sized-small jihadis.

The Western concept of "childhood" is contrary to the total-regulation-of-life-by-Allah as understood by Islam.

Better to destroy the ideology that breeds this madness rather than trying to convince its maniacal followers of anything sane or decent.

The fun thing about hunting mobies nowadays is trying to figure out if they are "Great White Whales" or "Great Pink Whales".

From thou rector, thou poopeth.

We should be glad that a UN official is even acknowledging the problem. And Iraq is probably the best place to find Muslims who are sick and tired of the death-cult insanity.

Although, someone needs to inform this UN official not use the term suicide bomber and rather use the word "child martyr", as that is the language that the Islamists use.

And if no fatwa is issued, well, that will be instructive too.

I just read Debbie Schlussel's rant against some guy Robert Cohen, whoever that is, and I suggest to Debbie instead of giving undeserved attention to this shmuck that nobody ever heard of, why doesn't Debbie proclaim herself the "Spokesperson" for the Detroit Jewish Community.

I hate when the hook gets something before I get to see it. I've been deleted once before. Was shocked...but in retrospect...was correct.

Doesn't the UN already have stuff like this on the books? Isn't there some International Law about using children in combat? I think the use of child soldiers in Liberia and the Congo is what caused this to happen. So if terrorist groups use kids wouldn't they be in violation of these statutes? Of course, since this is the UN I'm not expecting them to haul AQI, Hezbollah, etc, into the courtroom any time soon

This has been tonight's preparedness note.

Trees may need God to bloom and bud,
But ANY FOOL can grow a spud!

Who is Roy Mercer?

re: #138 guzziguy

Yes.

Okay. Take ye a tire, put some dirt in it, plant your potato sets (available at a garden or feed store, but in a pinch you can use sprouted store-bought potato es. If you do the latter, cut a piece containing the sprouted "eye" and plant it cut side down). The plant will sprout and grow. As it does, add more tires and dirt, and the plants will continue to send out more roots and tubers. When they're ready to harvest, if you choose to do it all at the sme time, just knock over the tires and pull out your spuds. A good method for limited space, or if you're growing a hidden garden somewhere "guerrilla style" just on the off chance you might need the food sometime--who would pay any attention to a pile of junk tires with "weeds" growing out of them?

re: #157 Karridine

Palandine, there are severe consequences to this year's Record Cold ... Thailand is also holding on to 'exportable' rice... China and India could be in REAL food-shortage trouble this/next year...

It's also conversion of cropland to Fuel, the lower dollar, and sustained high energy prices......... the perfect storm for famine. We won't note it much in the industrial world, shoppers will complain mildly of higher prices, and slightly less selection - every place on the edge will have famine, the poor countries are already feeling the pinch in almost all starches.

re: #157 Karridine

My understanding is that Thaland is normally a huge rice exporter. Every country is holding on to what it needs to feed its own people, which does make life harder for those who have to import their food or are so used to a certain staple, like rice, that they can hardly abide anything else.

It's gonna be a hard summer. As Bob Marley once said "A hungry mon is an ANGRY mon."

re: #164 livefreeor die

Starting the tomato, pepper, and eggplant seeds this week. Would love the potato advice. I've had a problems with vine borers and haven't grown squash for a couple of years but I'm thinking of trying one of those upside down garden things for those.

It's so bleeping cold this year I should plant some peas.

I'm in St. Louis, and don't have my garden in yet. Tomorrow is theoretically the last frost date, and it is going to freeze tonight, and then be nice for the rest of the week. I'm going to put the garden in on the weekend of the 26th. My tomatoes are currently seedlings growing under grow lights. My community garden requires us all to grow organic, so there's not a ton I can do about disease and insects, so I just plant a bunch of plants and let God sort 'em out. :)

re: #186 Palandine

[Link: www.isn.ethz.ch...]

This story is bizarre. It's such a painfully obvious thing -- to not blow up children -- that calling for it officially is surreal. The only way to see it clearly is to shift it, just a bit:

BRUSSELS, April 12 (KUNA) — A top United Nations official is to travel to Iraq soon to look into the issue of old people being eaten by the militia and also being used as snacks.

“We are seeing this phenomenon of elderlyburgers beginning now in Iraq. For the first time there are reports about that,” the UN Secretary General’s Special Representative for Old People and Sit Down Dinners, Radhika Coomaraswamy, told KUNA in an exclusive interview in Brussels. She noted also that there are hundreds of octogenarians in detention in kitchens run by Iraqi as well as American authorities in Iraq.

Coomaraswamy said she hopes to visit Baghdad at the end of this month to look at the situation more closely — linked with the tastiness of old folks.

“We would like that religious leaders of Iraq and the Muslim word, and one of the things I hope to do is to lobby them, issue a fatwa (religious decree) against eating old people.”

re: #3 Sol Roth

How about a fatwa prohibiting ALL suicide bombers?
(that includes The Children^TM)

Was anything ever said by the UN to The Lord's Army in Uganda or Sudan? Or to the Burmese resistance fighters in northwestern Thailand?

I'm glad the UN (coughcough:irrelevant:coughcough) is finally sticking up for the children here, but their track record with helping children is spotty, at best.

I worked with kids in the Thai/Cambodia border area and in northern hill tribe areas. The UN is doing such a great job in those places. /sarc

re: #200 newsjunkie_ky

The topic is symbolic of so much of what is wrong with the world today- moral decay, a useless UN, Islamic fundamentalism, and so on. As has been pointed out elsewhere on this thread - really - someone has to ask these disgusting pricks to stop ordering their children to their deaths?

The UN is just "beginning" to see child homicide bombers, because they haven't been paying attention to those used against Israel.
They don't care if it is Joos who are blown up, but if other Arabs are being blown up, they have to do something.

The worst part about child suicide bombers is that the ones taken in Pakistan to bomb in Afghanistan are oft told that their parents will be murdered if they don't obey.

Nope. Still can't wrap my mind around that one. It's not a perspective shift but more like a zombie movie. Not surreal or disturbing, but comical like a cheap Romero movie.

Obama fuels Frogmarch fantasies.....
Obama answered my question tonight on prosecuting Bush WH

. You know, I often get questions about impeachment at town hall meetings and I've said that is not something I think would be fruitful to pursue because I think that impeachment is something that should be reserved for exceptional circumstances. Now, if I found out that there were high officials who knowingly, consciously broke existing laws, engaged in coverups of those crimes with knowledge forefront, then I think a basic principle of our Constitution is nobody above the law -- and I think that's roughly how I would look at it.
