The death of those 20 Iraqi children was indeed evil and wicked - but could have been avoided if the U.S Military hadn't been performing a public relations exercise by giving out sweets to them.
I hope this is meant somewhat sardonically? I mean, I'm sure you don't mean to imply the soldiers were at fault. It's just that it's easy to infer it from your comment. For me, it gets uncomfortably close to "He could have avoided his girlfriend getting raped if he hadn't given her a short skirt to wear as a present".
Please tell me I'm overreacting; it has been known.
