I don't value the children of violent religious zealots over those of my family, friends, neighbors, and countrymen.
I hate when a child anywhere dies, but I will never apologize for this stance.

I'll make a deal. Fictional negotiation time! Let them have a nuclear facility. When they inevitably create a weapon and use it, we Truman them and probably their allies. No whining about genocide. No crying about all the children.
If you can't agree to that, shut the fuck up and let the adults prevent that reality. Yes, we can all be sad that people died. But just putting our heads up our asses and allowing even deadlier situations to develop is retarded.
Crazy cognitive dissonance here
What do you think "valuing the children of blah blah blah" and "hating when a child anywhere dies" mean as English word sequences?
What was your suggestion other than negotiation or warfare last night when you said we should neither negotiate or do war with Iran?
There is a long way between not valuing another's child over your own (reasonable), and deliberately snipering 3-year-olds between the eyes (pure evil).
I wouldn't support that in most contexts. But cases like this (if even substantiated) are often used as emotional arguments against an otherwise justified conflict.

I can support it in no context. Zero.
Of course it will be used as an argument, and of course it will trigger an emotional response. It is that evil.
What would you do if your child was shot like that? Shut up and not mention it so people don't accuse you of emotional manipulation!?
