2. What everyone seems to forget
is US foreign policy has been taken over with the maxim of Utilitarianism, The Greatest Good for the Greatest Number of People.

The natural progression of the doctrine is: deaths of innocents are okay as long as in the far off misty-gray, nebulous future, good comes to the remainder. 999 deaths are alright as long as 1000 prosper.

So, therefore, the deaths are "always worth it" as * has oft said, and Ole Petey Pace can get on Meet The Press and without lying through his teeth state, unequivocally state things are getting better. Because according to their immoral calculus, when in 25 years Iraqi Oil is flowing and the people of Iraq are finally beaten into submission (25 years of death will finally tire out the people over there) everyone else on the planet will benefit.

Seriously, I don't know why people don't understand this, this doctrine has been the guiding light of NAtion-States for hundreds of years...

3. Is it still safer in Iraq than on the streets of New York City?
Or whatever city they liked to use for the analogy.
