As for the military advantage of such a bombardment, I simply cannot grasp it. I have seen housewives disemboweled, children mutilated; I have seen the old itinerant market crone sponge from her treasure the brains with which they were spattered.

Violence is a disease, a disease that corrupts all who use it regardless of the cause.

Aleksandr SolzhenitsynYou better watch out.
You better not cry.
You better not pout,

Cause Santa Clause might put a cap in your ass.
