Reply #34: Yeah, and its awfully shitty too in this scenario

Because to suggest a war is necessary, despite the deaths that would outnumber those if a war was not pursued, is to suggests that some lives are worth more than others.

That is really the bottom line. Some wouldn't blink an eye hearing about a wedding party being bombed in Afghanistan (or many by this time), but would demand a 24/7 local news media feed if a terrorist bombed a wedding in Sacramento (unfortunately, someone has made an argument that if civilians aren't dying there, they will here). Of course people are concerned about things that feel more local, but they are missing the larger picture about devaluing life of another culture/people.
