This is a very short diary, but I want to make this point, since I've been reading headlines like this one in the Guardian today:
Two suspected child suicide bombers attack Nigerian market
Let me be very clear: children are not "suicide bombers." The two girls suspected of carrying bombs in the attack linked to above were ten years old.
Ten years old.
These kids have actually been murdered by the adults that convinced them to wear these bombs. These little girls were manipulated by older people. These two girls, who should be working on their multiplication tables at school, were knowingly duped by deluded adults to carry weapons that would lead to their own deaths, and the deaths of many others.
They are not "child suicide bombers."
