45. I'm not saying that we have the moral highground. But neither do they.
Have killed horendous amounts of children? Yes. But the resistance has done so as well.

But the amount does not matter in morality. The reasons do.

No reason that I can think of could ever justify the taking of a human life, except to save another. The American soldiers kill children in the hopes of killing a few terrorists. This is WRONG. I won't debate that.

But the Insurgents will kill children if it means they kill Americans as well. They will kill children to stop people from helping the Coalition in any way. This is WRONG.

I never said that they are more evil than us. I just said that they are not less evil than us.
