How many of the "innocents" were truly children ... say, under the age of 10 or 11 ...

While I can't give you numbers, look at the first page of this thread, caryatid. Look at the baby being pulled from the rubble here:

The day we become incapable of BOTH reacting with horror to such tragedies AND despising the Islamofacists who are the true culprits, is the day I give up on FR (and the human race).

"The day we become incapable of BOTH reacting with horror to such tragedies AND despising the Islamofacists who are the true culprits, is the day I give up on FR (and the human race)."

It came close today for me.

This sad situation has hardened my heart even more against the Islamofacists even more because they were forewarned and chose not to remove these innocent children to a safe location.

Have you ever done rescue and recovery work in a war zone ?
I have. Note that both of the hezbolahs look at the interviewer off camera instead of focusing on the grim task at hand. In recovery work, done seriously, that's not slated for the six o'clock news or PR releases, there just isn't have time to pose with a trophey.

I also note that the hezbolah with the glasses and beard shows up in several of the photographs holding different victims in different locations. Oddly, he moves around the "recovery" site a lot and shows up in a lot of photographs.

I'll add the obligatory yes, its sad and sick that innocent children were used.

Your thoughts?
