Fair and balanced comments about the world from the everyday perspective of a welfare-state citizen.
War Really Sucks
How could they kill the children!? An important question that has been asked in the press during the recent days, for a perfectly horrible reason. One could also ask how they could wage war. Even though most politicans who have done so have been less outspoken than the Chechnyan terrorists about the targets of their actions, children have most often been included. Hiding the children behind euphemistic target descriptions such as the"basic economic and social fabric of the [enemy's] country" doesn't save them, they suffer and die all the same. As U.S. WWII bombing strategist Curtis LeMay admitted: "I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal." (Links to Wikipedia)
