Using the mentally disabled to carry out suicide bombings

[Vermouth]

No circumstances justify tactics like this.

"Two mentally retarded women strapped with remote-control explosives — and possibly used as unwitting suicide bombers — brought carnage Friday to two pet bazaars, killing at 91 people in the deadliest day since Washington flooded the capital with extra troops last spring.
[...]
In January 2005, Iraq's interior minister said insurgents used a disabled child in a suicide attack on election day. Police at the scene of the bombing said the child appeared to have Down syndrome."

What disturbs you more, Vermouth: that they murdered 91 innocent people or that they used mentally retarded women to do it? Would the act be any less horrendous if it was a strapping young buck carrying the explosives?

I've always suspected that your average Arab knows very well just how fucking retarded it is to strap explosives to yourself and kill a bunch of innocent people. I guess they are scraping the bottom of the barrel now.

"The coordinated blasts — coming 20 minutes apart in different parts of the city — appeared to reinforce U.S. claims al-Qaida in Iraq may be increasingly desperate and running short of able-bodied men willing or available for such missions."

That crazy Dirlewanger sure knows the desert wildlife.

Targeting civilians is wrong under any definition. To me, this tactic introduces an additional layer of sociopathy. Can you imagine looking into the eyes of someone who cannot comprehend what you're asking them to do and compelling them to take this action?

I'm glad you realize that we aren't talking about freedom fighters but murderous savages. Will they make suicide bomber t-shirts for all the cool Leftist hip cats?

I was joking about the Che products, yes. I was also joking that they should make these too because, as you just suggested, there is no difference.

huh? why do you say that?

i agree with both you and vermouth that these senseless murders are inexcusable. i also agree with vermouth that this takes it one step deeper in terms of the heinousness of the crime. you may refute me with facts, a life is a life and so forth, but i most definitely have a greater sense of disgust knowing that mentally challenged individuals were taken advantage of in this way.

Just messing you!

The greater horror, to me, is the murder of 91 people rather than who and how.

[conley]

hahah quit fucking with me 

91 murders is 91 murders and its definitely the most appalling part of it

but dont you think in addition to that, taking advantage of people who dont even realize what they're doing is pretty bad too?

Yes, absolutely. I just got the feeling that Vermouth was taken aback more by their tactics than by the crime itself. How could they stoop this low? Sorry, if I'm wrong Vermouth. It just seemed that way to me.

[Vermouth]

You guys talk a lot. 

Mr D is right. I am fairly desensitized to hearing the numbers killed. We hear it every day.

There is cause for optimism tho. As Mr D pointed out, it's not that they're being more evil, it's just that they may be getting more desperate for recruits.
