Children as Unlamented Victims of Bush’s War Crimes »
Posted By dissent 7 months, 1 week ago in NewsTorture has received the most attention among the many war crimes of the Bush administration. But those who support Bush’s pursuit of the “war on terror” have not been impressed by recriminations over torture. Worse than torture are the murders of at least 50 prisoners in Abu Ghraib, Afghanistan, and Guantánamo, but again the hard-hearted are unimpressed when those whom they perceive as terrorists receive illegal extrajudicial capital punishment.
The case for abusing children, however, is more difficult to support. The best kept secret of the Bush’s war crimes is that thousands of children have been imprisoned, tortured, and otherwise denied rights under the Geneva Conventions and related international agreements. Yet both Congress and the media have strangely failed to identify the very existence of child prisoners as a war crime.

Bush is a fanatic, so is Bin Laden and so are these Jewish extremists who recently perpetrated the massacre of Gaza. Ironically, in case of Bush , Bin laden, their attitude about murdered children is the same. This is how they think. They, Bush/Bin Laden believe they are doing major changes for the good of their people, they are doing something that their LORD will be proud of them. They Bush/Bin Laden are EXTREMELY sure about this part and nothing will change their attitude. So those children who get caught in cross fire or just in the fire itself, are very innocent and have been sacrificed for the sake of THE BIG GOOD THING and therefor will go to heaven. They are so sure of this that they probably wish they themselves were those children. They don't even blink when they see the attrocities committed on these children by their selfishness and callousness. They in a sense are sure that they sent those children to heaven, lucky those children. This is the attitude of religious fanatics and extremists be it Bush, Bin Laden or lower ranks, they may not say it in so many words but that is the mind set they are operating with. Don't expect that mind set to change anytime soon. If those fanatic terrorists are attacking children in schools, in their minds they are sending them to heaven and in the process they are accomplishing something good, the BIG GOOD THING, for which all this killing was part of.

In case of Jewish extremists killing children is treated with a different set of norm, rules and religious/fanatic beliefs.
Just look at the ending of Psalm 137 and you will see what I mean:
" 8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us-
9 he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks."
How do you change this mind set? Only by getting rid of the satanic teachings that somehow have been mixed up witht he religion of Moses PBUH. Killing children , according to Torah, was ordered by Moses . Torah tells us that when they brought thousands of women and children to Moses and told him these are prisoners of war and what should we do with them, Moses said that kill the women and their children and save the virgin women for yourself. According to Torah 32,000 virgin women were saved and how many thousands of women and their children were murdered? hmmmm.....
So for a Jewish fanatic who is raised by reading Torah killing children is no problem, if Moses did it so can he , he/she for sure is not going to be more Catholic than Pope. -
