U.S. aims to quell female suicide bombers
The program is called Daughters of Iraq, and is a spinoff on the Army's Sons of Iraq effort, which enlists men to run anti-bombing checkpoints and has been credited with a decrease in suicide bombings, CNN reported Tuesday.
The women's program has been instituted in the wake of 20 suicide bombings missions carried out by females in Iraq this year, including one Sunday in Baquba that killed 16 people and injured 40 others.
CNN reported that women enrolled in the program will work two or three days per month and make up to $300, which, in a country where families are struggling to survive, is very good money.
U.S. officials say many of the female suicide bombers are wives of slain anti-government fighters facing life with no income or help with their families, are frequently from small farming villages and hold deep religious views.

What about the insurgents who wear police or soldiers' uniform, in public places?The soldiers should not give candies to children in the streets like they do, because the suicide bombers strike right there, as in the past, where so many children and american soldiers died!There must be a way of checking people who come and go.There must be a wall with security check-points, in business areas-bank, food, etc.Walls around schools, churches, bus stations must be built, for the protection of all, with tight security checks!It should be an orderly city built within a city!Like a fortress! (indians couln't get in freely, then, because of the walled fortress!)Life is too precious, and we have to beat evil !In Jesus name, Amen.
