If the US murdered as many people as those it is perceived as aggressing against, then, like the Soviet Union, it would no longer be perceived as the aggressor, no matter how many people it subjugated or countries it invaded. It would get a free pass for its crimes, as the Soviet Union did. Recall that the he Soviet Union was slaughtering Muslims in enormous numbers, and today's Russia continues to murder them in numbers vastly greater than comparatively modest murders that Israel commits, and no one thought to launch terror attacks on the Soviet Union. There are a few terror attacks on todays Russia, but far fewer than on Israel. What is the moral? The moral is, murder more innocents, suffer less terror, less protests. Does anyone recall a protest against the Soviet Union when it was murdering Muslims by the trainload? If today's Russia murdered as many innocents as the former Soviet Union, they would have no terror problem at all. If you do not murder women and children, people think you are weak. So they attack. The more Iraqi children the US napalms, the safer every US resident who works in a tall building will be, and less our cities will be troubled with protests. --digsig James A.
