There are no curses strong enough to properly convey what I feel toward people capable of this. King David perhaps said it best in Psalm 11:5-6.
The LORD examines the righteous,
but the wicked and those who love violence
his soul hates.

On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.
This is actually the only place I have found where the Bible indicates that God can hate people. We're taught that God hates sin but loves the sinner. But here, for those who love violence, He hates them within His soul. I do not want to be nearby when God pours out His wrath on the terrorists in Iraq who killed those children.
