    I mean, they’re just babies. How good can they really even be at murdering? I’ll give em a pass. Now a couple dozen murdering toddlers with knives? At that point we may have a problem. I’m pretty sure I could still take them, but I’ll probably need stitches before it’s over.

    There is a difference though, and that is that while babies tend to be in the vicinity of adults, that could potentially be terrorists, you cannot make the same assumption (if you were to actually be make it in the former case) about uniformed and distinctly marked UN-peacekeepers that have their own bases. Attacking that letter can not be collateral damage or be an attack on potential terrorists, while the former could with a lot of mental gymnastics be legitimised (though not morally justified).

    And let’s be real, international diplomacy is the art of mental gymnastics at olympic level.

    Well, it is middle-eastern babies. Not like they’re white babies or something.

        Four soldiers with the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon were injured last week when Israel fired on their position. A fifth was hit by gunfire, although it is unclear who fired the shot.
