Your compassion for a 12 year old child is duly noted idiot.

In case you haven't forgotten we're supposed to be the good guys.

LMAO!

that's a load of sensational crap

Sensational crap or the realities of war that people would rather not see. Maybe this picture of him would have been more sensational or the pictures of his family members described in the same article.

"...The first image the assistant showed us was of a boy lying naked in the emergency operating theatre. A catheter and tube was attached to his penis. The child’s legs were smooth, but his entire torso was black, and his arms were horribly burned. At about the biceps, the flesh of both arms became charred, black grotesqueries. One of his hands was a twisted, melted claw. His other arm had apparently been burned off at the elbow, and two long bones were sticking out of it. It looked like something that might be found in a barbecue pit.


it's war...it happens.....deal with it....

Deal with it! Exactly! Unless you are like Barbara Bush and would rather not worry your beautiful mind. And for this one picture there are hundreds/thousands of other children we never see and are not lucky enough to get the treatment they need.
