If the first victim of any war is truth, the second is always children. Children lose their fathers in fighting, and in indiscriminate modern war, their mothers, other family members and even their own lives in "collateral damage". Then, for example, if they are Iraqi, they are denied medical treatment and adequate food by a combination of the despot ruling their own country and indiscriminate sanctions aimed at that despot.

"I come and stand at every door,
But no-one hears my silent tread
For I am dead ..... "
(Child of Hiroshima)

What we need to fight are the causes of war and terrorism, ie the disease and not the symptoms.
