Who hates children more?
1. A person who has a gun, who is shooting at soldiers, and who hides behind a child of 6 years or any age while he shoots?
2. A person shooting back at the person who is hiding behind a child?
3. A person who fires a rocket with gas at the person hiding behind a child?
4. A person who fires a rocket into a bus, school or restaurant, each of which is filled with children?
5. A person who fires a rocket with only a bomb into a bus, school or restaurant but would have used gas if he or she had it?
6. A person who has gas and shoots the gas into a bus, school or restaurant, each of which is filled with children?
7. A person who advocates their child strap a bomb around them and that child then walks into an area with children and detonates a bomb?
8. A person who advocates their child strap gas around them and that child then walks into an area with children and releases a gas?
9. A person who knows that the child is a suicide bomb or has a gas device. So, to save the other children he shoots the child bomber and kills him / her?

Pragmatic philosophy:
Why are some so right and others are so wrong? Or to ask it another way. Why do we think others are so stupid and why do they know we can be so stupid? Wouldn't you let your children stay in an area where you know the probability of getting injured or killed is high? Wouldn't you use children as shields? Wouldn't you use children as weapons, suicidal or otherwise? Probably not.

If the Syrians are making these decisions today, would you hazard a guess what decisions they will make tomorrow? If your guess is that their decisions would not be the same tomorrow as today, would you stake your life or your children's lives on it? There is a history ranging a few thousand years of making this type of death (and perhaps life) decisions. There is a rumor that some people are taught that there is more meaning to death than to life.

One factor known with a lot of certainty is that both sides (middle east) want to win no matter who they are fighting at the moment. Regardless of who wins, another certainty is that the winner will find another antagonist. Why, because everyone else is offensive and they despise those who offend them. That is as good a reason as any reason for some. It is based on their historic behavior. It is very unlikely to change.

Moral of the story: Moral guidelines are not congruent. The guidelines are not close to being parallel. The beginning is from two divergent core beliefs. Stated above, many are here to live not to die. The decisions of many others indicate that they are here to die. Living seems to be a short inconvenient layover on their journey.
