I really don't care for that video. For one thing I am resistant to overt emotional manipulation. For another it's not exactly news that war is hell; children and other innocent bystanders get hurt along with soldiers. The video does not mention how all those children got hurt. My guess is most of them got it from insurgents, suicide bombers, etc., not American soldiers. Yes, we set the whole thing in motion. But it's not like we've been going around maiming children.

This latest thing with Marines slaughtering civilians is going to ream us in terms of public opinion in the Arab world. They already hate us and now they've got another good reason to.
