In a war...it doesn't matter how old the person firing the weapon at you is...you kill them. Only here does it seem to matter. I will have a little more respect for your beloved "UN inspectors" when they become equally outraged at the thousands of christians who have been killed (read: massacred) in the sudan and somalia. Amazing how this doesn't get them fired up but a gun battle in which collateral damage was the result (because the gunmen were hiding behind the skirts of women and the toys of children) does!
When you start firing rpg's and machine guns from a house...you then invite destruction of said house. When you fire from behind women and children...and then those women and children die...it is YOUR fault...not the other guy.
Again...I will give ear to what these bozos say when they show me they can be unbiased. That means going into the sudan and helping the thousands or tens of thousands (and I am being conservative in the estimate) who have been slaughtered because of their religion. And here you sit screaming about a few hundred (and not even that....) who died in a combat zone because their "men" were using them as human shields...which BTW seems to happen a lot in the arab world. "Milk Factories" and "hospitals" abound.
Cowards.
Armchair ruminations are no substitute for a full on-site investigation to reveal the facts. Let the chips fall where they may.
