Nine-year-old Palestinian Girl Shot By Israeli Soldier...

..."for acting like a terrorist." I leave it to you to figure out that while nine-year-olds act strangely at times, their actions rarely, if ever, look like what a terrorist might do.

(I've raised several children so I think I can say, if you're looking for that type of empirical basis for my judgment. But if you need anything to prove that there's something wrong with shooting a nine-year-old ... for any reason..., then I suggest that you are a bit too far gone for any proofs.)

Did you notice how the US media plastered this story in their reports from the mideast?
