Probably one of the worst crimes I have seen in recent memory....

I see this ending up as a Law & order special victims episode. We can see how it ends for the guy there.

"The following story is fictional and does not depict any real person or event."  -Yeah right...

Growing up in the southeast, my high school history teacher at one point had to address the Civil War. By this time we'd had many years of it, and he was aware we had blasé attitudes towards the subject. He was very anti-war, not for the shooting of the enemy aspect, but for the collateral damage aspect. He made sure we were aware of specific grotesque acts that had been documented during Sherman's march to the sea. Kind of a shock-oriented history class, so it wasn't just "some event" but had meaning - I found it interesting that, even in college history classes (I took two outside of engineering because it looked interesting) that most of the focus on war was simply the battles and strategies. He tried to make sure we understood the meaning of the word hell in the phrase "War is Hell", and I always felt like his life goal was to remove any glamor that war might hold in the eyes of a 16 year old. (Partial motivation might have been that lots of classmates join the armed services immediately upon graduation.)

i'm not saying only one side is doing inexcusable things.  Like another poster mentioned ALL SIDES in wars do things that "are totally inexcusable" and way outside the realm of basic human decency, and the justification of "they deserve it or they do it so should we" is just lame.
