Yes, but those children have dark skin and speak another language. There wasn't much public outcry when when several thousand Panamanians wound up as "collateral damage" when the U.S. invaded that country to capture their errant crony Manuel Norriega. A big percentage of them were children, as well. How do you think the American public would have responded had Norriega been hiding in Sweden, and had the children killed by U.S. airstrikes had blonde hair and blue eyes?
