The subject is murder, if you have a question about murder, ask it.
This thread isn't about the war, which I would be happy to discuss with you on any appropriate thread. Feel free to ping me to the next one you see.
My position on murder is consistent, I can assure you.
No, "murder" is simply your label on certain types of killing. Lots of Michael Moore types also label the killing of innocent Iraqis as "murder" as well. I (and presumably you) don't accept them placing that label on Iraqi killings. They could just as easily dismiss any discussion of it in just as flippant a way as you did on the abortion question. It seems your opposition to abortion for rape and incest is based on your reaction to the deliberate killing of an innocent. But you must accept the deliberate killing of an innocent in Iraq (deliberate as in we deliberately choose to conduct this operation). I don't see a consistency there. Some of us accept the killing of an unborn child in the first trimester for victims of rape if the mother/victim so desires as an unfortunate side effect of the mitigation of the crime of rape, just as we accept the killing of innocent Iraqi children as the unfortunate side effect of the elimination of the Ba'athist tyranny. I feel bad for both of their deaths and wish we didn't have to make that choice, but life is not so simple sometimes.
