That doesn't make our loss of nearly 3000 "unsignifigant" it just means that our response was deplorable.

- Kequc 13y agoI disagree, at a certain point it does. Imagine the roles were reversed and some jerks from the US went and killed 3000 middle easterners. As a response they invade america and over the course of 10 years kill nearly 20,000% as many people as died in that original attack. Still call the death toll from the original jerks to the middle easterners significant?
- MartinCron 13y agoYou think I haven't gone through the basic thought experiment of imagining the roles reversed? That's why I was against going to war in the first place, even though I felt like the only person in the country who felt that way. Regardless, each and every innocent life lost is still significant.
- Kequc 13y agoTo be fair though, that can be 'said' easily. But dramatic human suffering is occurring all over the world right now and most people don't pay a whole lot of attention. So it isn't really all that significant in reality.
