Abu Ghraib child's play? Not on my schoolyard, thanks. And starting an
entire war for phony reasons certainly has had a devastating impact on
the children that some people have suddenly become very concerned
about.
That oil for food scam is certainly a serious scandal but I think
dismissing thousands of dead children (my measure of thousands comes
from international human rights  and emergency aid organizations) as
"collateral damage" is an even greater offense. And not bothering to
count them after they have been killed is certainly telling and
extremely offensive as well.
