phage, I don't think being desensitized and understanding are the same thing. In fact, I think being desensitized involves lack of understanding how bad violence is. If those kids in iraq see people killing other people all the time, they wouldn't think twice of doing it themselves. That's desensitization. They have less respect for life in that sense, and don't understand how precious it is.
