A few years ago I read the dystopian novel, Children of Men, by P.D. James published in 1992. The topical bible describes the phrase, children of men, as:
a biblical phrase that appears in various contexts throughout the Scriptures, often used to denote humanity in general. It emphasizes the human condition, distinguishing mankind from the divine and highlighting the relationship between God and His creation.
I have mixed feeling about the war in Iran. On the one hand, it is terrifying to think of Iran having nuclear weapons with a naval fleet or submarines capable of delivering annihilation to any city in the United States. Europe is under particular threat which may explain the reluctance of Spain and the U.K. to get involved. Is their anti-U.S. talk designed to protect them from retaliation considering their proximity to the conflict? Somehow I doubt that carries much weight with fanatical terrorists!
