"I do think one American life should weigh more than one Iraqi life, all things being equal..." If I agreed with this, which I don't, the logical conclusion would justify gradually repopulating the world with Americans. Colonization could make a big come back and genocide or political conversion of the others would be on the table. We are all going to die. Each life is worth what it is worthy of as it is lived...no more, no less, no political entitlements. I would rather look at our position in world affairs to be based on principles that are at the foundation of our "issues" with others. I wish there was not bolstering and bandwagoning (by the govt and by opponents) being used to justify our position, but there is. We spend more time looking at the fringe than we do at the core issues. By fringe, I mean the pitches that are made to "Joe Sixpack" (a cos term). Fringe pitch pro: Saddam is part of OBLs network. Fringe pitch con: Bush is willing to murder Iraqi babies to increase personal wealth
