Not sacred, just valuable. Definitely more valuable than the lives of the terrorists.

I realize you have me on ignore BUT

The life of a murderer is always less sacred than the life of an innocent.

The statement "It's needed to save American lives" is the biggest scare tactic since hair on the palms. Equally bad is the following scenario "I have a terrorist in the room and the bomb will go in the next 5 min if he doesn't talk"

The later is horseshit and the former postulates that Americans are little angels under constant threat from devils from below. 9/11 happened for a reason, now before I go any further, what those men did was cold bolded murder and beyond defensible. However, the idea that two entire countries of people can be held accountable and occupied for the actions of a few is just as indefensible, as is the forfeitures of our freedoms

The occupations of these countries and all the lives lost do not represent American lives saved or democracy spread. They represent ebbs and flows of power, they represent the bread thrown to the hungry crowds, they represent what was politically useful at the time. That is the saddest thing here. All the American servicemen who died, All the civilians, nothing more than collateral damage in the pursuit of power. Not that this is surprising, it has always been like this.
