   OK. I guess my military background makes me less sympathetic to a vessel    
   that had the sole mission of destroying all of humanity, as well as the    
   Vulcans.  Sure, there were probably children aboard, but like the    
   Taliban regarding the west, they would have probably been indoctrinated    
   to hate humans and Vulcans as well.  That certainly doesn't mean they    
   should be eliminated, but unfortunately, their parents made the choice    
   to support that cause (at least outwardly - as with the Taliban, I'm    
   sure many totally disagree, but fear for their lives if they dissent).   
      
   A sad fact of war is that you have to consider those in the crossfire as    
   collateral damage, in order to defeat the true enemies.  It's not fair,    
   it's evil, but that's the nature of war.
