Your life as a Christian neocon is worth exactly the same as a radical Muslim's life.

Your family would mourn you as much as the radical Muslim's family would mourn them.

(They wouldn't have to go as far as your family, as you'd be over there killing 'em in their own houses.)

If you were held hostage and killed your family would hate Iraqis as much as Iraqis whose loved ones are tortured to death by Americans. Or shot inside their own homes.

And, of course, in a very real sense, killing 30,000 innocent Iraqis is a greater sin than killing 3,000 innocent Americans. (And neither justifies the other, by the way. Sorry to have to explain that.)

And so on.

To compare a cop with a ticket to a mass murderer is patently ridiculous to anyone who can reason. Invisible to you black-and-white thinkers, though.
