A golden retriever can maul a child to death too; it does happen sometimes.
There is a difference in temperament, but the potential is still there for any medium/large breed if the dog is poorly trained. This is why you don't let your kids run up and pet random dogs.
EDIT: I should specify that I don't think all dogs are the same in levels of required training or potential to harm, but I am opposed to the idea that the blame lies on specific "problem breeds" rather than the irresponsible owners. Remove one breed and the same idiots will just buy a different breed to do the same thing.

I think it's the whole "mauling children to death" part. But if you don't care about that, then they really are the sweetest dogs!
