Still, you miss the point, perhaps suicide bombers are not all teenagers, but teenagers are used. Recently, a PA family spoke out against the use of their distraught teenage son, they claimed PA leaders had taken advantage of thier child in using him as a human bomb. "Unlike you, I cannot claim to know what Hitler "believed" one of this great achievements were." Just passing on what he said. "Are you going to say America "devalues human life"?" Yes, if it were to extoll the virtues of suicide as some sort of higher ideal as the PA does. "Do you enjoy wasting my time? Or do you reset your brain every six months?" Afraid that doesn't hold water. You were looking for parallels with Nazi germany, and the PAs use of its citizens as bombs fits perfectly with the Nazi leader's thinking.

>>Or, as I am beginning to suspect, are you just so biased on the side of Israel and against Palestinians that 18 year olds fighting on one side is OK but those on the other side is "devaluing human life"?<< Your logic is faulty. In the case of Israel, America, and other countries sending their 18 year olds to fight, the intention is for them to come back "alive" after the battle. With the Palestinians, there is no intention for a suicide bomber to ever come back to this world.
