Exactly. Furthermore, isn't it interesting that Padme regards the slaughter of Tusken children with complete detachment and lack of concern, but in Ep. 3 when she finds out that Jedi children have been slaughtered by the same guy in the same way, she reacts with horror and utter disbelief. Why is this important? Because Padme is supposed to be one of the good guys...and, one might argue, the PT's moral compass. ("So this is how liberty dies: with thunderous applause.")

Buuuuut, while the proposed reorganization of the "republic" into a "galactic empire" is instantly judged to be evil, and butchering good little english-speaking cockney Jedi children is a horror and an obstacle most insuperable, somehow it's ok to savagely murder another group of children, just so long as their species is "insignificant." Double standard, much?
