Sad to hear about. Just saw it on the news as well.
Agree with your comments and terrorists hiding among a family or children is the lowest of scum. Problem as I see it is that the military was watching the compound for over a day and never saw any kids or women so felt that it was safe to take the terrorists out. Only after the smoke clears were the kids found.
Remember, a large number of the guys and gals in the military have kids of their own, and had they known that ANY kids were in harms way the bombs would not have been dropped.
Regarding your question on killing innocent people when terrorists are hiding amonst them, we hope and feel that we hold ourselves to a higher standard and would never harm the life of an innocent person to kill a terrorist. They are willing to sacrifice theirselves while we would never do something like this.
