Something struck me today while reading the news. Here it is.
When a child in the US is killed or abducted, the outrage is extreme. Not saying that it should not be, but it is extreme in the sense that it is a single child, yet people spew angry, hateful things towards the person convicted of doing such a thing.
However, The US Government can bomb a Country, kill COUNTLESS children, and Women, and innocent others, yet it is sadly, collateral damage. We as a population can agree with that and move on.
So the point here is, why is a child's life in the US so important, yet one in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan is not viewed in the same sense of anger, hatred when they are killed by one of our bombs, bullets, drones?
Point to Ponder today.
