Your comment has absolutely nothing to do with my post. You read way way too much into it. I wasn't getting into the specifics of the current situation between the US and Iraq, and I said nothing about the value of Americans versus Iraqis. Did you actually read what I posted? I was simply showing that the question isn't as simple and easy to answer as you might think. I DO value the life of my mother over the life of someone I don't know, and I certainly value her life more than Charles Manson. |

I agree that this question is not an easy one, but it is one that we should ask before we go to war.
