    So you see, we just have to bomb children. It’s the moral thing to do.

      It’s the same reason one doesn’t negotiate with terrorists. It’s not because the world doesn’t want the hostages returned safely, it’s to discourage the taking of future hostages by removing the advantage it confers. You let them successfully hide behind children and they will hide behind even more.
