Iraqi Mums Send Kids Into Battle
When the Robert Fisks of this world publish their reports on the aftermath of this week's battle in Iraq, complete with hand-wringing accounts of dead children, bear this exchange in mind. It comes from an Instant Messenger conversation between two brothers in Ramadi:
Al-Anbari: "All of the people in the area have started to move, men and women. I didn’t think that the people in this area were so heroic. The mothers are even pushing their children into the fight."
Kamal: "Whatever God wants! Blessed be the Almighty!"
Al-Anbari: "Imagine: I encountered a boy who was not even 15 years old who was carrying a weapon, but without ammunition (…). When I saw this heroic impetuousness, I pulled my magazine out and gave it to him."
Kamal: "Oh God! God is great!"
