 The reason for their slaughter is clearly stated and it isn't original
 sin, it was revenge for what Amalek did to Israel some 400 years
 before.

 You miss the point, the reason why God could justly include women,
 infants and sucklings is because they were by their nature already at
 enmity with God, and deserving of death, their life duration only ever
 being at the discretion of God. Otherwise, God is always just whenever
 He takes a life, under whatever circumstances.

 Again with the question begging!! Oy oy oy! And I'm supposed to accept
 this on your say-so? You beg the question, yet again, that infants
 deserve being ripped to pieces by a sword, or skewered with a lance,
 or have their skulls crushed with an hammer or stone, based on
 original sin. Show me where the Bible teaches that infants deserve to
 die such a death. It's simply not enough to say so, Matt. Back it up. >>

Right on Reverend! I could not have gave a better answer.
