The fact that this is a news story is depressing. On the other hand, the story itself offers a glimmer of hope. One would like to think that the basic humanity of the people called "Palestinians" hasn't been totally quenched by the oppressive conditions and brainwashing that they've endured for decades (and no, I'm not referring to the Israeli "occupation").

Golda Meir once said that the war would end when the Palestinians decided that they loved their children more than they hated the Jews. This may be a sign that this is starting to happen.

Hopefully no more suicide bombing will occur, but if they do then I would think Israel would make a intrinsic study of the forensic evidence to best determine the age of the suicide bomber. Then, make that information public to ride this wave of opinion. I'm not certain that prior bombings ever reported the age of the suicide bombers before being that there wasn't much left to determine that information other than eye witness testimony prior to the event. But analysis of even somewhat small pieces of bone can often provide clues as to the approximate age of an individual.

It was my understanding that the bomber's ID is well known after the fact. The Palestinians put his/her mug up in posters and pay the family a bonus.
