The extent to which some people will twist to justify that which can not be justified is mind boggling.

What's the twist? I'm curious why this event was chosen, if for any reason. Personally I am frustrated by people building a school next to a military installation. It feels extremely negligent. I find that to be pretty unsettling and wish people wouldn't do that, because military installations are legitimate and predictable military tagets.

I think nobody was justifying what happened, just pointing out more than one party did unjustifiable things.

I mean...sure...but if you are going to be consistent you are going to have to criticize the Allied victory in WWII. There were literally piles of dead children in cities all over fascist Europe. We do not even have exact numbers because in some cases the death toll had to be estimated by weighing the ashes found in bomb shelters.

It turned out that the real dark stuff was the fiends we made along the way.
