These poor kids are caught up in a situation that no-one should ever face. For all the right reasons they will become the next generation of terrorists. What on earth can we do to stop this madness?

[ChangeofSpace]

Those poor children.

I see why they are afraid of us. :(

[Adnowwwwn]

And god bless the days when these kids grow up and Al Qaeda and the Taliban control the government. The US recession will be worse, Israel will lose its lifeline and they will take revenge...Insha'llah.

I put allot of blame on the media who refuses to put out the truth about the situation in Iraq & Afganistan. Instead of truth we get pretended patriotism and a call to get in the goose step by supporting the troops and supporting the war effort.....fuck that.

Majority of those doing those jobs are foreign companies who have used their links with the American government to win those lucrative billion dollars worth contracts. Iraq all ready had a few of these things but during the invasion they were all unnecessarily destroyed.

That is the most stupid thing I ever heard that Iraqis are to blame for their troubles. If the U.S did not invade security that once existed would have prevented Al-Qaeda from entering. U.S invaded Iraq for their own greed .

I blame the american governement and Israel for this chaos in Iraq. The Americans for invading and destroying and the Israeli government for urging and egging on the US to go into Iraq and Iran. As an American i am sickened by what i see here. In my opinion any aamerican supporting this war or supporting Israel is a genuine traitor to the American people and the constitution (remove this thumb up)

if you're American, you've got more privileges than these kids to put an end to the occupation. Voting every 4 years is not what democracy is all about.

Blaming the americans seems to be a scape goat over there. The militants keep attacking companies trying to setup sewage, electric, water services. Only people to blame is themselves.

Yes, I think you're right. I didn't want to say and be wrong twice. But, I did see a BBC doc on YT from a Danish man who went to the middle east and they were selling pictures of Muhammad in Iran. I thought I remembered one looking like that one, but i guess not. It would be quite a strange and ironic thing if AJ did broadcast such an image, though!

IM SO SORRY
