War-

This mornings most popular story on Reuters.com is a sad one, my friends. It involves a small Iraqi boy, U.S. forces, and a hand grenade.
Here's a plot summary, although I'd recommend you read the entire thing-
The U.S. military announced Saturday that they shot a 12 year old boy dead as they suspected him of being involved in throwing a hand grenade at them. Iraqi officials, however, do not believe that the boy was responsible.

"We have every reason to believe that insurgents are paying children to conduct these attacks or assist the attackers in some capacity, but undoubtedly placing the children in harm's way," said Major Derrick Cheng, a U.S. spokesman in northern Iraq.

This is not about a blame game. This is not about who shot who, or who was responsible. This is really about the casualties of a war-
It's bad enough that the calculated civilians deaths of the war in Iraq amount to somewhere between 91,912-100,339 people. Now children are being used to conduct attacks.
Where does this all end- The Bush administration declared it a War on Terror, but it just seems to me, more and more like it's a War of Terror.
