No. Eveyone has a mother, hopes, dreams and aspirations.

For the American citizen that has appreciation for what they have yes. For all of the spoiled ones that just want more no. Keep in mind that this is coming from a soldier who just returned from Iraq. Until 0ct of 03 75% of Iraqi es didn't have running water or electricity. Most didn't own their own homes. How many Americans have electricity and running water? About 95%, and over 70% are home owners. Some how there are still enough of them who manage to protest and cry and wine over something. Those are the morons that I don't feel sorry for at all.

No... I don't care for ether one I'm Canadian... But I think that we are all equal and I don't think the Americans should have put their noses in where they didn't belong... And for all the people that say yes because of 9/11 that's B S it was not the Iraqi's that were the responsible... and for the ones that say it's called freedom that's B S too, your not the only Country that is free...

I do not. All human life is precious. War is a necessary evil that must be completed to be effective. It seems that not many people grasp that concept. If we pull away from this conflict in Iraq to soon, many people died for nothing. We must stay to the end. That way the loss, though tragic, is a means to an end. An end of terrorists who think they can get away with what they do. Sometimes, blood must flow to prevent worse things from happening. There have been many threats made that something else is to take place. It hasn't because of the brave men and women who are in the Middle East doing their jobs. The troops are all over the area, not just in Iraq. Thank God for them ALL!

Obviously, the life of an American citizen is worth more to his family and friends. the life of an Iraqi is worth more to his family and friends.
In fact, a human life is a human life. They are both of equal value.

One life is not worth more than another's. However, I think that the American people tend to pay more attention to the loss of American lives as it's closer to home and more connected to their own personal, day-to-day lives. But when it comes down to worth, no, all life is worth the same.

I consider an American life to be more valuable to America than an Iraqi life is to America. Now, for Iraq, an Iraqi life is more valuable. Countries exist, traditionaly, to unite and look after the welfare of the citizens of that country, with the member citizens contributing to the overall wellbeing of the country as a whole. Not one citizen of Iraq that lives outside of America is contributing to the betterment of this country, nor should they be expected to. So, yes, I believe that American life is more valuable to me than Iraqi life, since there is a higher chance of "return on investment" attached to that life that will contribute to the betterment of my life.
And as an American soldier, I am sworn to protect America and the Constitution, not defend another country's citizens from tyranny, even though I served with honor in many deployments since going to Bosnia in 96 as part of IFOR.

Way too vague...Do I know the Iraqi? Is the US CItizen in question Charles Manson?
I value anyone in my family over anyone in yours. I'd choose to save Heidi Klum's life at the cost of Britney Spears'. In my book, nationality is way down the list after--among other things-- character, pertinence, potential for good and depth of soul.
Honest enough for you?

Yes, I do value the lives of MOST Americans over the lives of people from other countries.
I know that as a Christian, it is wrong to think like that, but that is just the way I feel.
If I hear that Iraqi's were killed, whether terrorists or civilians, I feel no sympathy. That's just the way I am.

No. That's why I continue to support our mission in Iraq. We liberated them from a tyrant, and now are striving to keep them safe and help stabilize their country.
I question whether the ones who want to pull out of Iraq value their lives equally. They're also the ones who didn't care that Saddam had murdered 100's of 1000's of Iraqis.
