Let's see now. In one case, I help my son strap dynamite around his middle, so that he can go into a public marketplace, and intentionally take his own life so that he can murder innocent civilians. In the other case, my son volunteers for the military, is sent to Iraq, and is killed by an explosive device planted by terrorists along the roadside.

No, I'm afraid that I can't agree that those two feel about the same feelings.

Edit: For one thing, in one case I knew he would die. In the other case, I hoped that he would live.

If you believe that is a fair and equitable comparison, I won't try and dissuade you. But it may not be fruitful to continue along these lines. EOM.
