Awful, I'm not sure the "child" even knew what they were carrying.

Child suicide bomber kills at least 9, wounds more than a dozen at Afghanistan wedding
By Hollie McKay | Fox News

As U.S. officials continue in Qatar to negotiate a peace agreement with the Taliban that would bring an end to the stalemate 18-year conflict – miles away in Afghanistan itself – bombings and bloodshed still define daily life.

On Friday, at least nine people died and more than a dozen injured – according to the BBC – when a child was made to detonate a suicide bomb at a wedding celebration in the eastern province of Nangarhar near the Pakistan border.

The child, provincial spokesperson Attaullah Khugyani stated, was used to specifically attack a militia aligned with the government. Pro-government groups routinely operate in conjunction with traditional Afghan forces to beef up measures and ensure that fragile territories do not fall into Taliban and ISIS control.

Pearl Harbor was like 9-11-2001

Within 4 years of PearlHarbor, we dropped two nukes.

18 months after the two nukes, there were NOT periodic suicide bombings by the Japs.

Our military has guns, planes, ships, bombs. But seems to lack the will and go ahead to get it done.

It seems we still subscribe the the "hearts and minds BS"
