That is a fallacy of logic. You can't combine the two issues like that. Iraq War is one thing......Starving and dehydrating a brain damaged woman in a hospital is another!!!

This is my point. For certain people out there, these are both moral issues. Obviously not for most people here, but that's why I made the analogy. You can't say that it's alright for a 10-yr-old to make his own moral choice and act on it for one viewpoint, but not another because you happen to disagree with one of the viewpoints. My point is that a 10-yr-old isn't really capable of making these decision - he is parroting his parents views. Now since many here happen to agree with the parents, they are cutting them slack for allowing their child to be used in this way. But it's a different story when they don't agree with the political message.
