I think that had more to do with the number of children left parentless by the war, or parents displaced and unable to care for their children, and the extreme prejudice mixed-race babies (fathered by American servicemen) faced in their culture.

Popcornbird, I know it us awful, unbearable to watch.

All that we, as human beings of conscience can do, is to vote for policticians who do not preach hate or run for office ourselves, work in our own communities and the world to try to eliminate the causes of hate, and educate everyone we meet that hate is not the way the world should be. These last two week have been awful, awful, awful. The situation is so complicated between Hezzbollah and Lebanon and Israel, and I feel the most sorry for the innocents who get hurt and killed in any war.

Anyone, if they try hard enough, can find a reason to hate someone else, and consider them less worthy human beings. The harder part is convincing people not to hate.
