Even if you disagree with ~100,000 dead Iraqi civilians number, you'd have to agree that we have probably killed way more than 3,000 innocents inadvertently in Iraq. Americans and insurgents could argue all day over whose fault it was. Some might say both sides are at fault because both sides are willing to inflict civilian casualties to win, and neither side will back off.

Here's a fun question: Is an American civilian worth more in eyes of God than an Iraqi civilian?

"Lefty" suits you. On 911, 3,000 innocents mostly American, were murdered in a surprise attack. Most died a horrible firey death. The attack also permentately scared the New York City sky line. The attack was of sufishent magnitute that it could not be ignored as were other lesser attacks. No government can conduct business as usual while it's cities are being attacked by foriegn agents. This has very little to do with His Judgement on the worth of ones soul, and alot to do with national survival.

One may argue that Iraq was not a party to the 911 attack. To which I say, "Who cares?" The war is really with the Nation of Islam and Iraq is very much a part of the Nation of Islam. The pictures of the Arab Street celebrationg the 911 attack is all the proof I need. Now God may welcome the Nation of Islam into His Kingdom, fine, as long as we get to send them there I am a happy man.

I don't claim to speak for God, but in MY eyes, an American civilian is worth the entire Muslim population, if necessary for that American's protection and that of his rights.

Get this through your head...Americans are ALWAYS more valuable by orders of magnitude, at least to OTHER Americans.

I guess I have to say that not all human life is precious to me. My own countrymen come FIRST. If others can be saved or protected, fine. If not, absolutely no reason exists for Americans to die instead. None.

The fertilizer in Fallujah came there willingly, acted as savages willingly, and failed to leave when they could have. Screw 'em.
