No, I am comparing a human life to a human life. It's a sad thing when lives have to be spared for something as pointless and utterly primal as war. A pile of dead bodies, despite who comprises that pile, just shouldn't bring joy to someone's heart. And I really can't understand it bringing joy to anyone's heart. Well, maybe Hitler's heart, but that's about it.

Are you saying that they are really the same? Saying that the life of a terrorist is as valuable as the life of an American GI?
That's the kind of thing just bothers me. It's this elitist position that's held with in America and it's politics that really unnerves me, because anytime a country holds itself and its people as SUPERIOR to another people... Well, I really don't have to remind you what happens then. I'm sure I could just direct you to some genocide archives.
But, now that I bring superiority up, how different are we? They generally think they are better than us, and we generally think we're better than they are. And, they generally seem to hate us, and judging from your posts and the posts of several other, we generally seem to hate them.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
