in the statement "ALL life is precious to me."
From your own response, you must realize that your statement was nonsense. I didn't misunderstand a thing you wrote. You expressed yourself poorly.
Yes, Life is precious, but not all life. The lives of those who harm the innocent isn't worth as much as the lives of the innocent. In other words, the lives of those people aren't precious.
Furthermore, I find your statement about how women are more concerned about life offensive. Who cares more about life than someone willing to risk his own to help others? Men fight not for flags but for their buddies next to them. Virtually all of those 300+ firefighters killed in the WTC collapse were men rushing to save the lives of strangers. No doubt many of them knew those towers were doomed but they went in anyways, not just because it was their job but because saving others was their calling. Trying to wrap your argument in gender terms is a slap in the face to all of those men who risk their lives for others.
As for the bombing attacks, if you'd quit reading kooky conspiracy theories and actually study the history of warfare, you'll find that at no other time in history have we taken such efforts to avoid hurting the innocent. Less than 60 years ago, both sides actively targeted population centers for bomber attacks in order to maximize civilian casualties. Had we employed such tactics in Afghanistan, our bombers would've carpet bombed every city and town in the country and the death toll would've been in the tens of thousands instead of perhaps a few hundred innocent casualties.

No, my complaint is over the use of the word "ALL"
