Israeli Children Sign Bombs Headed for Lebanon

I am so deeply disturbed by a photo posted at Rense.com that I can't get it out of my mind. The photo shows beautiful little Israeli children writing messages on bombs that are headed for Lebanon. When you click through the caption of the photo you see dead Lebanese children who were killed by Israeli bombs.

When I mentioned this to a conservative I know, I was told that we did the same thing with our children during WWII. I suppose I can imagine the children of our slaughtered Navy men writing nice little messages to the Japanese on the bombs we were sending over. And I know our soldiers wrote messages on bombs we dropped in Afghanistan following 9/11.

It still bothers me. And I think the reason why is that when anger explodes, people forget that the objects of their anger are human beings - and in war, those human beings are often children. At the same time, I'm torn by the reality that those children will grow up every bit as hateful as their parents, and the warring will just continue on from one generation to the next. So I'm left to wonder whether the human race really does ever have any hope of finding peace. I tend to think not.
