On 23 May, in an initiative sponsored by Mapfre Pepsi and El Corte Ingles, the Infantry Regiment 'Soria 9', in Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura), opened its doors to local children, as cheerfully tells The Province newspaper in a column entitled Learners of soldier. An extensive photo gallery shows the tender infantry uniform, with their faces painted in camouflage helmets, driving elated, how could it be otherwise bulky and heavy submachine guns. The news has been very widespread and has caused little controversy. After all, children like to play war and, in the opinion of some Internet users who commented on an article published in Rebelión Serrano Pascual ( http://www.rebelion.org/noticia.php?id=86391 ), weapons are not to blame for how bad they are men. Suppress the warmongering child is politically correct, but hypocritical and useless. Are
weapons or are we? If one is heated against an offender and looks back, probably around you will always find something to hit her head: a stone, a jawbone of a donkey or a cane. If you find a knife, use a knife, if a gun, a pistol, and if in this area grow wild canyons or trees of that country are atomic bombs, draw no doubt blinded by anger, guns and bombs . The excitement, therefore, is the cause of aggression.
Or not? Even if you do not ask for the causes of flushing, and regard it as natural as explosive fruits of the region, we can say that is a crucial difference between a rock and a gun: the stone is not intended to kill and the gun itself. Say-indeed, that the stone has not been thought and the gun itself. We can shoot a gun without thinking, but we can not manufacture it blind. The gun-to say nothing of the missiles and atomic bombs have been conceived, designed, measured, tested, on a temporary technical process that excludes the crazy hot flashes and frenzies. There are crimes, but no passion industries, there temperaments, but not impulsive calculations. Do bad are those who use weapons or that make? If we admit that it used a gun in a moment temporary loss, but we can only produce it with cold premeditation, we must conclude that what lawyers call "mitigating circumstances" applies to the commission of the crime, but not the enforcement of its instruments. Right in the excitement, I look around me and find a gun, the shot because I'm hot, I find that someone has deliberately put there. The most bad should be one which has acted with full awareness of what you are doing, but under a very Chestertonian paradox is, on the contrary, precisely that which can be invoked as a mitigating circumstance is considered a criminal and not can invoke is considered an honest trader. There can be no mitigating factor for the Holocaust or for the destruction of Hiroshima or the U.S. military budget. For different reasons, some legal and metaphysical, some historical, none of these atrocities is punishable in a proportionate manner, and that just because there is no flushing rooted in human.
But perhaps we can ask also for the heat. Against the conventional thinkers of his time, who wanted to ban swords and bows, toy Chesterton reminded that what is truly dangerous is to have a child, not a weapon, and related, as a priority, manufacturers of children, not the gun manufacturers: "If you can teach a child not to throw a stone, can be taught when to shoot a bow and if you can not teach anything, you always have something to throw." In a world in which there are both arms and hot flashes, there must be a just and democratic state governed by a true constitution, while monopolizing the instruments of violence and education and to introduce constitutional malice in the use of weapons and the use of children. That is, a state that distinguishes between a rock and a gun from a toy gun and a real and between a child and an indiscriminate consumer toys. Not appear to be the case. Military spending worldwide in 2008 rose 4% in the last decade by 45% this year and the figure reached 1,464,000 million dollars. USA largest manufacturer, seller and consumer of weapons, whose education budget is also the highest in the world, spent on the formation of an American child half of what it spends on the destruction of two Iraqi children. Who makes the weapons? The General Electric or Westinghouse. Who makes the children? NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, directly or indirectly are in their hands. Somehow, in most of the world, private producers arms and private producers of hot flashes are the same people. The destruction and education are not controlled by fair and democratic States, but by the two heads of the weapons industry and entertainment, which feed each other.
Who uses guns? Children. Who uses the children? Weapons manufacturers. It is a pleasure to see two boys exchanging gunfire seriously lying in a game in which both have to accept the rules, and each of them depends on the will of another to kill him even in jest. The danger, as you know all the grandmothers of the world, not to play with toy guns but playing with real guns. The dangerous thing Not that children play with them but big. In photographs of the Province that is precisely what they were doing, playing, not the least among visitors, no, but the soldiers of the regiment adults, fun and frivolous, put them in his hands. A just and democratic state with an army that monopolizes the instruments of violence in a polite society must open its headquarters to its citizens to confirm how bad and dangerous weapons are and that they are wisely using their soldiers. That perhaps might make Cuba. U.S. and Spain. Here we are dedicated to showing the very playful children who are also our real machine guns and where to hide and why and what it is being used. Governments invade Afghanistan committed two crimes and deliberately unmitigated: making war and making those who participate in it.
displaced soldiers on the ground, executors of the crime, have at least mitigating, as evidenced by the photos of Fuerteventura, had not yet reached the age of majority.
