The picture has been making the rounds already, but here are more details:
A shocking image believed to show a Sydney boy holding a decapitated head in Syria showed the ”barbaric” nature of the terrorist organisation the Islamic State of Syria and the Levant, Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said.
The image posted on Twitter shows a young boy, believed to be the son of Sydney jihadist Khaled Sharrouf, holding up the head of a slain Syrian soldier.
The image was taken in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa and was posted last week on the Twitter account of Sharrouf, Australia’s most wanted terrorist who fled to Syria last year and is now an ISIL fighter.
It’s been noted since at least Pearl Harbor that wars which begin with surprise attacks end badly — and the mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki lend credence to this notion.
So my question is, wars featuring children such as this boy… how do they end?
