    they appear to be anti-tank mines. i don't think children can set them off.

    Just like children can't set off unexploded cluster munitions, I suppose.

    Oh, whoops, a whole bunch of kids have been killed or maimed by the US military that way too, haven't they?

    Somebody else had better start blessing America, because the way the country's going, I think God will be giving up on your sick and evil ass pretty damn soon.

    Are you kidding? What would be the point of the US going to war if they couldn't bitchslap a country for decades after the actual war by hobbling children. You're clearly an unpatriotic communist, now stare at this picture of Saddam and shout at it for 2 minutes.
