Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, that 14 year old is now probably a martyr and a few thousand more potential terrorists are moving to 'the dark side'.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Where do you get “they” from? I was speaking on one person, the grandson of Saddam, who was well on his way to becoming just like dad and granddad. He is from a rich family, why wasn’t he off in Europe at some ritzy boarding school? IMHO it was because his life’s work was going to be the killing and abuse of the average people of Iraq. And the best place to learn that trade was from a pampered ******* like his dad. Tell me something. Did either of Saddam’s sons serve during the war with Iran? Perhaps lead men in the field, or fly strike missions into Iranian air space? Perhaps they were leading tank columns during the gulf war. Or perhaps they were taking advantage of their countrymen; killing people that didn’t show the proper respect, or were born into the wrong family. Taking and committing rape against the daughters of their neighbors, who dared not complain. And for this they were rewarded with high positions within the government. With role models like that, I personally have no doubt that the 14 year old in question was a little savage bastard, and beyond redemption in this life. Had he any inclination towards honor, he would have turned his AK on his father and uncle.

From www.CNN.com report:

"Officials said the bodies would be kept refrigerated at the airport until a family member comes forward to claim them"

-hi, my name is Sadamm, I want these bodies. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
