Villagers Kill Male Babies to Prevent War

Read it here.

I got such a kick out of this quote, I had to post it.
"The report sympathetically portrays these women as desperate hut wives who, faced with tribal extinction, are forced to take extreme measures in order to survive. One wonders how sympathetic the writers of this story would be if the men of the tribe killed all of the female babies to prevent them from growing up and committing male infanticide."
