"While the Taleban were never elected Hamas was and the reason given for not recognising them is their Charter which demands the destruction of a fully recognised member state of the United Nations (i.e. Israel) and the annihilation of her people. That by the bye Don is where the MORAL Right of the matter comes into play."

What makes you think Teribass that Israel's intent isn't the same????
Christ, by their actions it is identical to the words of Hamas & Hezbollah. All should be tried in the world court for 'Crimes Against Humanity' & Isreal should have an added charge of "Attempted Genocide" put against them with the US in the same court because of our backing of them. They have all gone way beyond, except that the Israeli population has not suffer any all attcak that could be considered attempted "Genocide" even if some have verbly professed that disire where as Israel has not 'officially' verbally stated this but by their actions this is exactlly what they are attempting. And they that suffered this same fate just a few short generations ago. "LEST THEY FORGET"
Shame to them & their their supporters

As for the training of children. I was one of those children who was being cultivated for & by the US. And you think it's just these backwards, two bit, third world nations that train kids for war & hate. The school I attened is still enrolling & has a history going back better than 200 yrs. http://www.vfmac.edu/camp/index.html

When I was 13-14 I was sent to this military training school to keep me out of trouble. Great, all I needed at the time was the ruduments of hand to hand combat training & the knowledge & trianing in firearms. I was being taught while at school the military use of a 305 enfielf sniper rifle & the field stripping of automatic weapons, one in peticular, a 50 cal. machine gun, target practice with a 22. I attended Valley Forge Military Acadamy at Valley Forge, Pa, right here in the US. They take kids in starting at the ages of 6 for their summer camp program & starting in prep school at the grade of 7 for thier program (that's what I was enrolled in).
At the time the Russians & the Chinesse were our emeny's that were to be focused on.

They taught me well. When they taught me just enough I escaped. I was later caught in downtown Phily & brought back. The two fellows I escaped with were also caught. The first to get caught never made it past the high fences we had to climb in the darkness before the alam & spotlights came on. He was put into hot & cold running showers dressed in a just what a sailor would call as the top only only of their foul weather gear. By the time myself & the other escapee got caught it was by the city Police. We couldn't be treated in the same fashion. We were shamed & I preferred to be drummed out, the other guys stayed. I believe they both died as young junkies.
