Yahoo has a news story up today that states of the 28 people killed in a suicide bombing 19 were children. Why attack these children? What have they or anyone else done to deserve this?

Because they have a higher success rate. A lot of soldiers have gotten used to their little quirks by now and can spot them before they get too close, resulting in one very dead terrorist splattered on the pavement.
Children, on the other hand, are defenseless and make easier prey. This is another reason that terrorism is synonymous with cowardice.

A homicide bombing of civilians is a "soft" target. But, terrorists don't hit soft targets exclusively. The Marine barracks in Beirut, the Khobar Towers military barracks in Saudi Arabia, the USS Cole in port in Yemen and the Pentagon attack of September 11, 2001 are examples of strikes on military targets.
The Salafist Jihadists also subscribe to a heresy called "Takfir" which says it's O.K. for Muslim to kill Muslim in the carrying out of Jihad. That alone should tell people that no one is safe from these murderous vermin. If you see something, say something!

Because their nothing but wimps! Sure give them a bomb and a crowd of kids any day but, when it comes to someone holding a gun to their head all the wimps can do is wet their pants while begging for their life. Guns should be given to everyone that has to put up with their crap. Since Bush is so hot on the idea of fighting put him over there! Give him a taste of what he's forced on the military!

I can't think that suicide bombers are afraid of anything much, my friend. Maybe a failed attempt where they are left maimed but not martyred.
Kids and civilians are targeted because that's the way terrorists get their way...hopefully for them. It's called emotional blackmail.

These stories are very sad. The innocent always pay a high price with their lives. It is so unfortunate, this is why Wars need to stop. We need to respect people and other Cultures and find ways to live in peace. Wars whether legal or illegal terrorize people. We need World Peace.

Because they naively follow someone who hates the world why doesn't Bin-lo tin do something positive with his money. His family kind of built Sode-Arabia , he has them all blindly following him by the name o Ala. Misusing the lords name using the name in Venn!!.
