Then pray tell me how else do you suggest we defeat them. I have tried too demonstrate that in war innocents suffer - but that was the only way to win the war. It is not a belief (at least not in how the OED describes belief) it is simply an effect of war. They will not come out and line up in the fields, that was the days of Napoleon and Wellington. In fact that lot over their seems to like using women and children as shields.
In case it is news I lived through WW II, saw all the newsreels, read the papers - it was not pretty.
