17. Killing GIs bad. Killing Iraqi civilians good!
Killing 2,792 innocents in the WTC is terrorism. Killing 5-7 times that many innocents during our military adventures in Afghanistan and Iraq does not even merit a footnote.

We can find the same type of morality in both sides of the I/P conflict. The people that send suicide bombers to kill civilians at a mall in Haifa are cut from the same cloth as those that order an F-16 to drop a 1,000 pound bomb on an apartment full of civilians just to get one bad guy.

I won't go into the morality of Israel's bulldozing habits, which is a scandal in its own right.

This is a good example of what passes for moral equivalence nowadays.
