Suicide Bombers

A suicide bomber looks like a 14 year old kid that can barely shave. He comes out of a madrass in Pakistan that is funded with Saudi money. He shares one spoon with the other 30 or 40 students in his class at meal times. The chances are he comes from poverty and the only hope he knows is in the afterlife. For entertainment he sings to Allah with his class until his voice is hoarse. This is what Al Queda or the Taliban gives it’s children a quick release from life.

Today, he has two soldiers guarding him while he is in a hospital room with tubes coming out of every orifice. The soldiers look like giants. The fluorescent lights are harsh an unrelenting. This isn’t what paradise is supposed to be.
