Chicken Little was right!

It shouldn't come to any great shock that military reality includes the killing of women and children, even though they try with great predictability to deny it. Whether deliberate or incidently, women and children have been killed in the course of warfare for centuries. Sometimes they just "get in the way", sometimes they're killed to prevent the enemy from growing new warriors.
It also shouldn't shock anyone that the Bush administration has for years been punishing countries that receive US aid if they engage in the use of birth control and abortion.
The Popes too have been encouraging people around the world to be "fruitful and multiply".
Because of limited resources ( yes the earth has its limits) scientists and environmental groups have tried to encourage a limit to population growth. These efforts have led mostly to scorn and derision. "Chicken littles"and "Oh the sky is falling" chuckled the smart ones.
So the latest "plan" put forth by the US Army, although not shocking, marks a change in the excuses they use for warring on others .
No longer will it be for "democracy " or "freedom",
They have taken off the mask, and as we all knew they were anyway, will be fighting for resources.
A major threat in this war has been identified in this latest plan as the
"youth bulge"
"A key current threat is a radical, ideology-based,
long-term terrorist threat bent on using any means
available—to include weapons of mass destruction—to
achieve its political and ideological ends."
The youth, the children of those who oppose us, are now the identified main targets of US hostility.
As they are those who are reacting to our occupations of their homes, and the domination of their countries.
Domination is the goal...resistance is futile against our technology.
So the zealots gain more followers,
In a continuous cycle of violence, caused by our need for material, political and ideological security.
Yes, all the people went forth and multiplied just like they were supposed to,
and now their damn kids are eating all of our food, drinking our water and using up all of our oil.
How dare the little fuckers?
So now they're gonna have to die,
and sadly some think it is our destiny to kill them.
