"if we have to use force, it is because we are America; we are the indispensable nation. We stand tall and we see further than other countries into the future, and we see the danger here to all of us." Madeline Albright.
Lesley Stahl: "We have heard that half a million children have died (in Iraq). I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?"
Madeleine Albright: "We think the price is worth it."

There's a legal difference in most jurisdictions.
"Pædophilia" implies prepubescent (from the Greek pais, paid- ‘child, boy’.).
"Underage women" refers to age of consent.
Having sex with someone postpubescent but under age is considered "statutory rape", not "pædophilia".
Under South African law, it is legal to have sex with a person under the age of consent (16) if the age differential between the participants is two years or less.
That's not pædophilia under our law; it's not even a crime (or we would lock up school kids).
