2. Those children

never declared themselves our enemy. They were just as precious and important as any child here.

That's the double-standard we have. It's no okay here, but there ... well, war, (occupation) and all that.

So, it is murder of innocents, plain and simple. Yet, we will sweep that under the carpet or put that in the family closet with Uncle Sam who has been bat-shit crazy for a long time. Shhh. Nobody is supposed to know about his jackal deals and serial killing sprees!

Well, we have another double-standard economically here, what with the large and growing numbers of our children in abject poverty which can be dangerous for many reasons.
