Correct - that's why I said it wasn't disagreeing with you personally. Just the context.
The other rant I wanted to get off my chest has been the reluctance or outright refusal of the media to label this as an act of terrorism. The are not Assailants, Commandos, Fighters, Insurgents, Rebels, Militants, or activists, as many media groups have labeled them. They are terrorists, period. Whatever their motivation, no one with a rational mind could call their mission "noble" or "just" when the targeting of innocent children was part of their diabolical plan.
Think about this...they held the children for three days before the massacre. In three days, you'd get to know these children in some manner. You'd think that will appeal to human emotions? It should've...but instead these terrorists willfully shot, stabbed, and burned as many of them as they possibly could at the end....those few terrorists that reportedly were shocked to learn children were involved, and tried to back out at the beginning, were also killed by their terrorist "brothers".
It makes me sick. I just hope this is the wake up call the world has needed. 9/11 didn't do it. Bali didn't do it. Madrid didn't do it (in fact it helped Spain capitulate). I can't imagine a worse attack than one specifically targeting children. I simply can't.
