I've said this before, but after Timothy McVeigh bombing of the Murrah building in 1995, a "militia" man came in and crowed about how this was a blow against government tyranny. I asked what about the 19 children in the day care center there and he said, and I have never forgotten it, "War has been declared. There are no innocent victims!" (I knew this guy well - He was, of course, "Christian" and "pro-life.")

Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...

Yes, he was. But he believed he made perfect sense.

Yes he did. He had lost his humanity in that he could not feel sorrow for the deaths of innocent children. Madeline Albright had lost her humanity when she said something to the effect that thousands of Iraqi deaths, including children, was worthwhile.
