>>If the United Nations had agreed that military action was necessary, this boy and others would still have been injured.
That particular coin has another side- if the UN Inspectors had not been labelled "incompetent", "useless", "French" and all the other names for failing to find all the WMD under their noses, this boy and the others- the infant and 10-year-old laid face to face on the pavement, for example- would now be asleep at home with their families. If you have ever had children, you'll get this.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
