Enemy?

I'm setting in my room crying again
I watched the news again to night
I saw children being killed because they where to close
To close to our soldiers.
All they wanted was candy!
Candy that they never got to taste.
12 innocent children lost today.
Just so that they can kill you soldier.

You say that were the enemy,
that we don't need to be there,
that we need to mind our own business.
I cry out loud," how can you say that?"
How many harmless innocent children,
have we killed, just to kill ONE of you?
Where not here to hurt you.
Where here to protect those 12 children,
the ones you just killed.
We failed our job today, 
but you succeeded in yours, 
Congratulations you killed 1 of us!
Now I ask, 
Who's the enemy in this War?
