I don't! That wasn't the context in which I was writing. In my mind I was thinking about laws created by one race of people that discriminated against another race living in the same country. If those laws gave the children, or future generation of one race legal advantages, you can't blame that future generation for decisions based on their behalf.

In war the situation is different and no one as yet has built bombs that discriminate between adults and children. And even if such a weapon existed would it encourage the guilty party to stop their aggression? No, I think it would make them continue because they would never suffer loses that really hurt.
