perhaps suicide bombers are not all teenagers, but teenagers are used Teenagers fight in the front lines in ALL armies of the world. EighTEEN was "teenager" the last I looked. So what is your point? That you don't get the fact that young people get killed first in a war? Or that your bias causes you to judge only Palestinians on this basis? Just passing on what he [Hitler] said. Interesting. Show me. What exactly did Hitler say and in which context? A serious source would be useful. Yes, if it [America] were to extoll the virtues of suicide as some sort of higher ideal Rather, US leader talks about the virtues of dying in Iraq, glorifying the teenagers they sent to die in a hostile land, so that US oil and construction corporations can get richer. There is no difference between talking about the virtues of dying while fighting for one's people. Whether than be glorigying the teenagers dead while fighting (through terrorism) the occupation of their land and glorifying teenagers dead while fighting to invade an oil-rich country too seductive to their leaders to leave alone. You were looking for parallels with Nazi germany No I was not. I was only pointing out the errors in Brumar's argument - i.e. trying to refute someone pointing at similarities by pointing at differences. Try to understand a debate before hurling yourself into it next time.
