I did what I think men do all the time when they take us to war: They choose violence because, although they believe it is bad, it is still better than the alternatives. The "just war" theory assumes that human beings get caught in terrible choices all the time.
Evil men go to war because they believe that their greed, desires and glory is more important that the lives they destroy in war. Most men go to war to protect the people they care about from what they percieve as threats. A just war is waged first and foremost to protect the innocent and is self defense on a grand scale.
No one's life was threatened by this child. The child was the most innocent one who needed protection. The only thing threatened by this child was the parents' desires and lifestyle. This wretched creature should recognize her actions have more in common with the tyrants of the world than any man fighting a just war before she tries to draw parallels.

Exactly. Men go to war to do what must be done. She did what was convenient.
