There is a difference between overtly equating the two and pointing out that America has in the past been "indifferent" to the deaths of huge numbers of civilians in another country, perhaps in order to achieve its means, perhaps as a brutal show of strength, perhaps to preserve the free world--or perhaps all those and more. One could at least entertain the distinct possibility that it was not necessary, and then maybe have to face the horror & chagrin of the suffering engendered. And frankly, be a better American for it. I, in any case, don't have to embrace the entire political history of my country in order to love it & want to see it thrive and flourish.
