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.
OK, I stand corrected. The soldiers don't deserve to die. The parents
back home deserve to have their children die, because they used them to do
evil.
"sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children"
The 'sadly' in there indicates that Moore doesn't believe that the parents deserve it either. Otherwise he could have written
"deservedly, that majority must now sacrifice their children".
