Excellent observation...took a look at the pics after you pointed this out. I agree...something fishy here.

[PleaseNoMore]

I have a 10 year old so I can safely take a shot at guessing the mentality of a child of that age. I don't believe 10 year old children are capable of deciding to strap bombs to themsleves and blow themselves and others up. I do NOT blame a 10 year old for doing what he is taught since birth to do by radical fanatical parents. He doesn't understand WHY he does it, just that he is taught it is the "right thing" according to those who teach him HOW to do it and tell him it is right.

Ok, i'm listening to Wolfstar now. The issue isn't the adults. I am sad when children die.

Forgive me for wondering if it would have been a sad thing if Hitler died as a child. I'm not arguing. I am feeling very philosophical about this. So help me out....would it have been tragic if Hitler had been killed as a child? Or Sadaam. Or John Wayne Gacy. Is the potential for terrorism and horror non existent until it occurs?

Your claim of "listening" is belied by the crap that followed noob.

How many moments did our GI's take during World War II to stop and mourn for the innocent children of Dresden and Hiroshima?

This is one of the most famous photos of the early period of WWII. It was reproduced in newspapers around the world. A Chinese child cries after a Japanese bombing raid on Shanghai's South Station, August 28, 1937.

What was the objective of the bombs, what was the target? Of, course, Israel is incapable of error, at least on these pages. They can even attack American Naval vessels, kill our sailors, and walk away pure as wind driven snow.
Its getting old

If you were to take these children and place them in a room of Israeli children of like ages, all of them would play and laugh together. These children are not born enemies of one another.

So true.

MSNBC's Richard Engle saw the bodies, he explained they looked as if they had died from "percussion injuries" because they weren't mangled, but bleeding from nose and mouth.

It's so ghoulish displaying dead bodies like that, for political gain, and did you notice how few tears were being shed over those little lost lives?

Hizzbollah is flush with money from Iran and Syria. They could have transported women and children out of danger zones....if they'd wanted to. And if Hizzbollah really believed Israel was a threat, why didn't they build bomb shelters for the people they wouldn't get out of their combat areas. For 6 years, they built fortifications from which to wage war, but they built nothing to secure the lives of their children.

Children to them are nothing but sacrifices at the alter of their moon god.

TEARS.....God...I hate this.....innocent babies....

Hi mystery. You, Mike and one or two others are giving me some hope we aren't all so blinded by bloodlust that our hearts don't ache for these children -- and we can't spare even a whispered prayer for their souls.

Now,the innocent Israelis are going to stop the bombing for 48 hours. What a great war, the world is sure safer. Well, not for the kids, but they were warned, right?

[bandleader]

The Good Lord took these innocents directly to His breast!I sure wouldn't want to be one of the Islamo A**H*LES who got them killed!!

[YCTHouston]

Well said. Children do not get to choose sides, and we should indeed remember to pray for the innocent . It's also good to be reminded of the reality that gets obscured by catchy slogans.

I couldn't bare to look at all the photos...all I see are dead babies...innocents......I just want to hug my grandsons and thank God we live in the USA.....

Considering some of the Pali frauds perpetrated on the press, I can't help wondering how and when these victims died.

It's a question without an answer, because we can't know the future. We live in the here and now. When a toddler is killed in a bombing, or on a plane crashed into the Pentagon (which did happen), or is murdered by some child molester, or even by the kid's own parents, we can't ever know how that child would have turned out if he or she had lived.

What we do know is that, as a toddler, the child is innocent and his life can be shaped by the adults around him as he grows.

Not all of those dead children might have grown up to be Hitlerian. Some might have grown up to be great people who helped bring peace and understanding to the peoples of their region. We'll never know.

Why don't you come back when you get your head out of your posterior?

Photos of dead children are always disgusting and tragic and these, no doubt, will conjure a lot sympathy for the terrorists in Lebanon. As for me, I just see a lot of would-be suicide bombers who will never meet their blessed prophet. Flame me if you must!

[MikefromOhio]

I can't bring myself to hate kids, especially toddlers...

Let's take a moment of silence for the Yates children, and for the Routier children.

I'll pray that God shows you the light of forgiveness in this life.
