If so, since when? By my basic calculation, One = One. This reads like some preposterous appeal to emotionality. I would counter that any Americans who suffer at the hands of terrorists would infinitely be more valuable than anyone else, simply because they who do suffer are usually in uniform (non-civilians) and do not have the luxury of sitting around in some urbanised area, complaining about the air conditioning and the gridlock of traffic, considering whether or not their condo is going to bring the improperly maximised price. Unless one considers a tent city with a stiff winter breeze, crowded cots and whether the supply guy will get upgraded canvas to be the same thing. So, in MY appeal to justified emotionality, let us consider who the Americans are who are out there in the boonies, austenisbly defending somebody's country, generally not their own, the one they swore to defend. Solutions to the dead and dying in the Middle East are not comparable or even compatible with American goals and aspirations around the World. Our people came over here to be rid of factious infighting, not to repeat the errors of their Old World, old thinking, old timey forebears and not to support those who haven't been able to learn these lessons and still insist on scraping off scabs and digging into festering wounds. Until there are some significant policy changes and regards for everyone's history and corresponding rights, we're gonna be multiplying fractions by decimal points. No, One doesn't equal One, after all. One of ours is not even in the same equation, no matter how hard one tries to make it so.
