Sad news

This breaks my heart.

In a moment of rather sexist bitterness, I find myself thinking 'women create, men destroy'. Who fights and kills? Not women, not children, men. Who suffers? Mothers and babies. Yeah, I know, there are female soldiers and men too suffer and die in war, spare me the lecture. But soldiers choose to fight and know the risk to their own lives that they are taking. These mothers and babies did nothing whatsoever to inflict this on themselves.

Stuff like this makes me lose all faith in people.
