From a New York Times article about Tom Brokaw's interview with President Bush, which will be broadcast on NBC tonight:

Mr. Bush ... said he had some initial concerns about the first blow of the war, his last-minute decision to bomb a home in Baghdad where an agent had reported that Mr. Hussein and his sons might be spending the night.

"I was hesitant at first, to be frank with you," Mr. Bush said, "because I was worried that the first pictures coming out of Iraq would be a wounded grandchild of Saddam Hussein."

Isn't that nice? He doesn't say he was worried that a child would be the first person injured by U.S. weapons. He says he worried that the world would see a child injured by U.S. weapons. He wasn't worried about who would be hurt. He was worried about how it would look.

Compassionate conservatism.
