Michael Moore, on his website: I'm sorry, but the majority of Americans supported this war once it began and, sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children until enough blood has been let that maybe -- just maybe -- God and the Iraqi people will forgive us in the end.
You know, Dr. Brin, for someone so quick to use legal terms, you ought to be a little more careful about your facts.
I think any high-school English teacher could tell you that quote isn't
a call for American deaths.
Wouldn't the same teachers agree that it is stating that the Americans deserve to die?
I doubt it. I think 'fated to die' would be a reasonable reading but not deserve. The sacrificial victim is not usually thought of as deserving death but as an innocent.
