    the definition of "innocent"

    Glenn, you forget that already born "innocent" life in Iraq is not by its very existence innocent in the eyes of these cretins because it is very probably Muslim. However, life still yet to be born has the potential to be Christian when born so is deserving of protection. Once a child is born and given a Muslim name (as the child in the photo) it is too late; the innocence is gone. Let the bombs fly.
