#2 "...may have been a child.” To the Progs, this means it was.

Every war has left in its wake the bodies of innocents. Ugly, but inevitable.

#3 War is supposed to be bad, and very, very, messy. That is one of the primary reasons people avoid it.

Wailing and bawling about every innocent killed, due to the enemy's actions of hiding among the civilians only encourages them to do more of it.

See Al-Quaeda, Taliban, Iran, Hezbollah, HamAss, and now ISIS. All were and still are encouraged to kill more civilians either directly or indirectly by hiding behind them because we allowed ourselves to get so upset about each and every one.
