You're taking the comparison far beyond the point Williams was making. It pains me to defend such a liberal jackoff, but look at the direct quote--he was only making the comparison to the level of dedication to the cause. Period, end of statement. Do people need your point about saving people vs. blowing people up made for them every single time the point is made? No. We don't need to be hand-fed. In the quote, he was comparing ONE thing to ONE thing--and that's all.
If I say someone's resolve is "rock-solid" I'm not saying the person is composed of mineral or petrified matter.
LOL......nice analogy.....I'd like to be "rock hard" more.....*wink*
