Re: "...A muslim guy in Iraq told my Army buddy that if the kids are old enough to talk...then it's already too late..."
Frightening, but true.
The Arabs themselves know that if they are to ever defeat other Arabs, they must conduct massacres of all grown men, along with all young boys old enough to talk.
As Rabbi Meir Kahane so aptly put it "The Middle East is not the Middle West."
This is what the fools in the West fail to understand.
