Unclear On The Concept

Some anti-American Americans will go to any lengths to draw moral equivalency between terrorists and the US government. Take this response to Star-Tribune columnist Kate Parry, who criticized her own paper for failing to call terrorism terrorism.

When a wedding party of 40 people is wiped out by a misplaced American bomb, these people are just as dead as if a suicide bomber waded into the group and blew himself up. The survivors and their families suffer and grieve just as long and just as hard. How much of a difference, in practical terms and in terms of morality, is there between the two methods of killing the innocent?

Dean DeHarpporte,

Eden Prairie.

Dean fails to recognize, of course, that his letter contains the essential difference between the two. I wonder if Dena would treat poaching deer the same as hitting a deer that runs in front of his car on a dark road, or does he only see the dead deer -- motive and intentionality be damned. A homicide bombing is a fully intentional criminal act of cold-blooded murder, while the other is a sad and accidental twist of fate.

2 Was it a sad twist of fate that installed Saddam as leader of Iraq (not to mention many other dictatorial thugs), or maybe a fucked up American policy you asshole simpleton. Until you and the rest of your stupid fucking "conservative" ilk learn to recognize that many of our government policies have a direct cause and effect relationship to the terrorism we experience it will keep happening. What a fucking bunch of morons.

3 Ah, but when one knowingly carries out a policy which guarantees such "accidents" will happen, one way or another, the difference becomes smaller, much smaller.

4 yep -- Detroit keeps manufaturing automobiles so we can drive more -- guaranteeing more and more car wrecks.

And Gutless Coward -- don't you have work to do?

5 GC: When will the terrorists learn that for every one of us they kill, we kill ten of them? When will the terrorists learn that they have polluted their religion and live empty lives howling out their hate? When will the terrorists learn that are devoid of morality?

Answer: Never.

Because they are evil and stupid.
