The religion of peace (and bazookas)

And people wonder why we Americans don't expect to see peace in the middle east any time soon...

(Unlike what Mr. Mori reports, I am not quite so sure that these kids are just "looking" at the Italians. It looks more likely, to me, that they're pretending to target them with a toy bazooka. Innocent fun? Or preparing for jihad?)

*WOW, alot of work went into that "play" bazooka. Looks like it is using a real scope.

Yeah, I remember the times I used to target policemen driving by my neighborhood with what looked like a bazooka. Next thing I knew the police shot me because they thought I was holding a real weapon. THen when I got home my mom beat me to a pulp for pointing a "weapon" at the police. She said I was lucky that I was alreayd dead or she would kill me herself. (j/k) That taught me to respect authority and that armed-peacekeepers (police) are to be honored and respected.

Somehow, I believe that when our kids are playing cowboys and indians/earthlings vs aliens with sticks, these kids are learning from their parents what it takes to really hate and to kill people.

BTW, is this a sign of how much Lebanon wants "peace keepers"?? Or is this a sign that they hate anyone who is not a muslim?
