[Y]ou'll find there's a heck of a lot of children who'll be under those bombs...t makes no sense to humanity to bomb so many children, based on a speculative thread [sic] that something might, not will, happen.

"In considering [that, allegedly, half of the population of Iraq is comprised of individuals under the age of 15] though, a more immediate issue comes to mind: if you're using this as a reason not to attack preemptively, what would you recommend the child:adult ratio be before we commit troops in a given situation? 4:1? 10:1?

And via what logic or calculation does that proportion find its derivation? By this laughable rationale, isn't the next generation of national defense a baby boom?
