Two Obamas, Two Classes of Children

"The president, filled with memories of what his secret drone directives as prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner have done to so many children, in so many places, traveled on Monday to Newtown, Connecticut for the second time. He commiserated with the parents and relatives of the 20 children and six adults slain by a lone gunman. Here he became the compassionate president, with words and hugs.What must be going through his mind as he sees the rows of 10 Afghan little children and their parents blown apart in that day’s New York Times?"
