Alas, many people feel the need to kill babies. Once you can see killing as a means to an end, and the end becomes more important than humanity in general, then killing babies is only a small incremental step over killing adults.

There was plenty of baby killing in the Balkans, and lots and lots of baby killing in Africa- as well as the maiming of babies/children by cutting their arms and legs off.

And one could argue that we in the West don't mind killing babies with our smart weapons (that are not always so very smart) as long as we don't have to SEE the babies. We are only uneasy if it is pushed in our face by the media.

I digress a bit from the God replacement theme. I hope you can forgive me. I recently read "Virtual War: Kosovo and Beyond" and war and atrocities have been on my mind ever since. It's a very good book by the way.
