"Cornered by troops on Monday" in the West Bank, 16-year-old Sabih Abu Saud detonated an explosives belt, "killing himself and becoming the youngest of more than 100 suicide bombers who have killed over 450 Israelis since 2000," AP reports.

Here is a direct testament to the failure of "policy" (by all of the countries involved) re: the Middle East. "Policy" is a euphemism for "failure to know or care" or "cluelessness as to" why a 16-year-old decides that blowing himself up is only choice he has. I don't know why, but this little blurb in an ocean of little news blurbs I read every day really got to me.
