Yeah there's a difference between being attracted to children, and acting upon that attraction. There are support groups out there for pedophiles who don't want to be pedophiles and I think their rehabilitation should be encouraged.
I do think that the penalties for possessing child porn is pretty harsh, particularly cartoon images. Distribution is basically an impossible thing to track in the digital age so laws based on distribution are pretty superfluous unfortunately (if we could track it then I think there should be harsh sentences on distribution). Actually acting on pedophillic urges is despicable and should result in a long jail sentence and permanent registration as an offender.
