An Iraqi father is worth no less or more than an American mother, yet when he's killed it means nothing to people.

but does not surprise me, being a redsocialist, not like one is capable of rational thought.

I think you are over generalizing. Death of any civilian is not meaningless to everyone. There are plenty in the US that oppose and protest all wars not only because their sons and daughters are sent to fight but innocent lives are caught in the crossfire.

redsocialist you must come in person and see the world with your own eyes, and then there will be live for you, which is difficult if the impressions are from another Hierarchy

Oh, come on, stop giving him a hard time. Just because capitalist technology pwned commie technology, it doesn't mean anything.

If the hostages of pirates are doomed to die anyway hot pursuit is not out of the question. Not everyone can be saved but a message can be sent.

And you've shown evidence of rational thought when?
