In terms of the nature of the relationship, there is no difference between forcing workers to build a bridge or build a wall In my example, I never said the workers on the first project were forced. You assume it. Interesting. In fact, you take my example and turn it into the bridge over the river Kwai, the better to support your moral equivalence. Now on the issue of intent...in general people feel they should be judged based on their intent. I think intent matters a lot less than what its proponents believe So all this foolishness in our laws making a difference between murder one, manslaughter, and negligent homicide should be abolished? That's what you're saying. Likewise do the same from the perspective of the Americans who lose a son in Iraq. Here they are losing a child and millions upon millions of dollars to be in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and had no weapons of mass destruction. So what was there that is worth their son's life? Liberty. Which isn't even a speed bump in your arguments. And hope for the future. The majority of Iraqis favored the war, knowing that some innocents would get killed. Because Saddam was the worse evil, and there was no other way to get rid of him.
