Another round of "all of us are equal but some are more equal than others"

The Independent does a good job today of comparing and contrasting Bush's statement against "taking of innocent human life" in America versus the situation in Iraq. Take one guess who wins and who loses, badly. It's all too easy for the wingnuts to go on about protecting American human life when they talk about a fetus but when it's an actual person living abroad, even a nation whom the US has taken responsibility for by invading and disrupting, they suddenly find excuses for why there is a different scale of acceptability for death. Sadly, even when less privileged Americans die the wingnuts have a different scale of acceptability as we saw during the Katrina disaster.
