I have Never Read An article with which I have so Vehemently Disagreed

[Centurion1]

That's not the point. To not protect yourself against the wolves is foolish, I submit to go out looking for the wolves is equally as foolish but it is what my country choose to do.

The people you are talking about are animals. A USMC private who did the most tame things these terrorists do to their OWN people would be shamed and sent to prison. And that would happen had he done it to the enemy.

That is the difference.

He will never understand the difference nor does he wish to understand the difference because he is so blinded by his own hatred and naivete.

This hatred leads to his defense of a reprehensible and vile act. How about we look at intent. Smart bombs going off and killing civilians is collateral damage. Collateral damage is unintended. Walking into a busy Baghdad bazaar with three american soldiers and a hundred Iraqi citizens and blowing up some c4 strapped to your chest is not the same.

Violence is on a scale of depravity and evil just like any other human act and intention means a hell of a lot. Not to mention the fact that most of those suicide bombers are not dying for their country they die for a misguided and twisted view of their own faith.
