Ah, so.

By that analogy the Vietnam War was really no big deal, since about as many Americans died each year while it was going on in traffic accidents as died in the entire conflict.

Most people recognize that intentional enemy action is qualitatively different from mishaps and accidents, regardless of quantitative similarities.

If that is not the case, why be upset about the Pearl Harbor attack? Only about 2500 Americans died, less than died in December of 41 on American highways.

No, that does not follow.

What does follow is that anyone committing the same crime without benefit of a government employee’s uniform would be labeled a terrorist, and condemned by all parties without hesitation.

You seem eager to divert from that.

One does not “fight terrorists” while ignoring domestic acts of the same.

Freegards,
