> >= Yes we are all killers but your question was "which one of us is better?". So what's your answer? ....my answer would be that we should ask who a person has murdered and why. For instance, Saddam kills his own people you say. That's a bad thing...but he hasn't killed Americans, so there's no reason to go kill Iraqis...and yet that's exactly what America has done and is still doing. When America kills its own people we wouldn't think to excuse another country for coming here and killing us....because we dared to kill our own people. ...the Muslim world has declared no wars in the last 200 years...yes, they have not always been good to their own people but in those same 200 years America hasn't been so good to its own people either...if you remember there was a Civil War in which Americans killed each other...and more Americans were killed in that war than in all other wars since....plus there was slavery and then Jim Crow and lynchings etc. But still, that's no reason for another country to attack us. It has been Christian nations, not Muslim, which have killed millions upon millions of their fellow Christians and then everybody else...yes "we are all bad and evil and tainted"...but, not all of us are killing people in other countries far from our own. > >You are murderers by proxy? Because you hold the American citizenship? ...yes. My taxes buy the bullets. --------------------- |
