During Christmas present, will Obama not see the ghosts of other lovely and precious children lying dead if not blown apart?
Of course Bush also had look into the eyes of two daughters, Clinton into one, and so on, going backward in time and bombings. It must be made easy for the general public disinterest in, and acceptance of, killing dear treasured children in small far away lands. An acquiescent disinterest promoted by the amoral psychology of diversion inherent in U.S. media entertainment/news presentation. One imagines that this is enough to keep presidents' daughters unfazed by the death of innocents their daddy orders under the protective umbrella of "necessary" "just wars' for the protection of America.
Enough Americans feel okay. Jesus is the president's "Lord and Savior", and they can figure Obama is sure that he, as Christ professing presidents before him, for his high rank, has unlimited dispensation from all Jesus' precepts and the Fifth Commandment. (I.e. mass murder is permitted, even on Christmas - and one does not call it mass murder but rather collective collateral killing.

"For many people, the mere assertion by anonymous U.S. Government officials that these attacks targeted "suspected al-Qaeda sites" will be sufficient to deem them justified.
But it becomes painfully obvious that the images of dead Muslim women and children which we constantly create -- and which we again just created in Yemen -- will fuel that movement." (A movement of fanatical killers, but by their own view of themselves, of devout Islamic warriors exceedingly willing to die attacking a superpowerful destroyer of life materialist empire controlling much of the Muslim population.)
One cannot know what is noticed by little children in America. But if daddy has the Nobel Peace Prize in his pocket and has the world's permission to order armies and airplanes to kill anyone anywhere for some good reason, including the darling children of their poor but noble goat herding uncles in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and now Yemen, well it probably won't put a dent in Merry Christmas.
