This isn't so sweet

Raed is wondering just why US soldiers would want to give Iraqi children candy.

So where did the troops bring the sweets from? Let me guess, they either bought it using their personal money from local markets in Baghdad to support the Iraqi economy and feed the Iraqi children (sheds a tear), or the children-friendly-soldiers in the pentagon decided to spend some of the one billion dollars a week for sending bubble gums and sweets for Iraqis directly from the land of freedom.

Well, I have another "evil" analysis…
Hmmm, don’t you think that in a war zone like Iraq, with more than 85 attacks on occupation troops everyday, the fact that American soldiers were letting children gather around their dirty tanks and hum-vees, the same tanks that bombed and killed their relatives and friends, is a mere cheap plan for using children as human shields?
