Are iranian children worth less than american children? (mander.xyz)

Why i'm supposed to care less about iranian children being killed in war? Is it because their government is evil? Isn't our government bad too?

No reasonable person would say there is a difference. Media/government will chalk these kids up to civilian casualties that happen in any war. I hate it, I hate it happened, I hate the excuse I literally just gave, I hate that we are in a war, I hate that we do shitty things overseas, I hate that we do shitty things domestically, I hate that its a discussion. I still don't think you're asking a genuine question.
