No it is not.
All lives are equal in my opinion....that is including the terrorists. We are all human. The Iraqis have a father, mother, siblings, friends, grandparents...they are just like you or I...they just got caught up in a horrible situation.

To me, it is. I can not however consider myself a decent human being if I do not highly value the lives of others.
Further, by treating the lives of Iraqi children lightly, I might consent to policies that will enrage those Iraqi children who survive to hate me. The result could be to endanger me. In this way, even the sociopath who cares for no one but himself acts stupidly when disregarding the lives of others.

America opened her arms and pockets to save the life of an Iraqi child just a few months ago who was burned alive by muslim extremists. What are you talking about?

No, not at all. Or an Iraqi woman or man, or any other man, woman and child anywhere else on earth.

What is your point? That terrorists are more important than law-abiding citizens? It is not a case of one person's life being more important than another based upon national origin or whathaveyou, but there is a difference between law-abiding and criminal activities. It is sad if an innocent person is killed; that has nothing to do with nationality, creed, color or any thing else.
The U.S. is the only country in the history of the world that strives to avoid injuring/killing civilians.

A human being is a human being the color of the skin or different languages shouldn't matter. Getting everyone to believe that at the same time is impossible.

No. But if I got shot, my family would get more compensation than the little girl's family would. The world's f***ed up. Ask anyone who has ever worked in insurance about how much a limb or life is worth.

My life is no more important than any child's.
Nor is it more important than the deer in the wood, the birds in the sky or the fish in the sea.
We are all precious souls.
