Add to the 6,500 the million or so children who died during the proceeding decade of sanctions. If only all those who were pro-war could see innocent children operated on without anaesthetic, if they could see the true brutality of war then perhaps we would live on a more peaceful planet. Unfortunately it is more likely to be more of the same as the war mongers can be heard quite loudly rattling their sabres ready to send the sons and daughters of others out to slaughter

If only all those who were pro-war could see innocent children operated on without anaesthetic, if they could see the true brutality of war then perhaps we would live on a more peaceful planet. I think you've misjudged a significant portion of human psychology. The torturous death of human children as a reason for peace? No! That's an injustice that demands retribution. It's a cause for war. Just look at the Spanish civil war. The Republican faction wanted to vilify the Nationalists bring people to their side so they published pictures of children killed in Nationalist shelling. In more recent years, Syrian rebels attempting to get the West to intervene against Assad published footage of dead children being mourned by their parents.
