There is no sliding scale on universality. Either it is or it isn't. If you say it is, then you have invalidated your own statement, or need to argue it more thoroughly. If it isn't then you need to reassess your position.

In the grand scheme of things, I say, "No you don't."

I was talking about the somewhat smaller scheme of things. I would choose to protect my loved ones even if it meant killing terrorists' families, as someone said earlier. Too bad someone always has to die. But since we all just can't get along, I'd rather see my enemies' seed wiped out from the face of the earth. Sorry :(

So what is the difference between a terrorist, who does what they do out of strong conviction, and a soldier, who does what they do out of "pride in their country" or "sense of duity" or just for the pay check? One is "right" because they believe their government is right, and the other is wrong because... why again? Oh, because you believe they are. I got it now.

I think we should just be nice to all the terrorists so they'll stop being so mean and stuff. Maybe buy them a Coke or something.

Is terror really all that different than "shock and awe"? I suppose it is, because one is "good" and the other is "bad".

No, it is no different at all. So I guess we *are* at war, then? Now all we have to figure out is who started it, right?

I'm more concerned with the end than the beginning.:worried:
