    No it doesn't. I'm not about to turn a thread about bringing awareness on how these children are treated into an anti US/Bush rant.

    good luck with that. someone will soon point you to the "america is the leading arms dealer" thread. surely these kids are getting those weapons from the US. not to mention, they are born to fight and hate solely because of george bush.

    im talking about the army targeting the poor, young people starting their life in this country...which is getting harder to do by the day..sorry im 23 and watching my friends and my peers ive gone to high school with fall in darkness and leave this place and if they come home, if they come home they are not the same...and to read an article like this as if its supposed to shock me??? this is not a new idea...kids have fought wars for the misled forever.

    let me guess..the united states and its people are now gonna create a moral age limit on war...get the fuck outta here...open your eyes!!!

    Actually the Ak-47 is one of the most reliable automatic rifles ever made. Soviet era Ak-47s are still in use today. Do some research.

    The AK-47 (shortened from Russian: ??????? ??????????? ??????? 1947 ????, Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947) is a gas-operated assault rifle that was used in many Eastern bloc nations during the Cold War. Adopted and standardized in 1947, it was designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov and produced by Russian manufacturer Izhevsk Mechanical Works.[3] Compared with the auto-loading rifles used in World War II (the StG-44 aside), the AK-47 was generally more compact, with a shorter range, a smaller 7.62 × 39 mm cartridge, and was capable of selective fire. It was one of the first true assault rifles and remains the most widely used and known. More AK-47 rifles and variants have been produced than any other assault rifle; production continues to this day

    why the personal attacks?

    AK-47s are used almost exclusively in he Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Rwanda, Mozambique, Congo and Ethiopia, among others in 2007

    Because people who have no facts to support their arguement usually resort to personal attacks when proven wrong.

    No. What do you think insurgents in Iraq use, warlords in Somolia, FARC in Colombia, and reminents of the Taliban in Afghanistan use. Read the link I provide on the AK-47 and you will see why it is still in wide use. It is a cheap reliable, ruggade and easy to maintain weapon.

    thats it...are you suggesting those countries you listed are producing AK47's or are you suggesting russians are producing them with AK47's


    and also do you realize the assault rifles that are out today...

    the AK47 is trash compared to them.

    rogue states and terrorists cant afford top of the line equipment. plus those countries and people can not buy them directly from the big bad USA. so they used inexpensive durable AK-47s
