Taken a step further lets let the higher power make the ultimate judgement calls and not a bunch keyboard commandos trying to make political points out of embellished hearsay.
There are over 7,ooo,ooo,ooo people in the world. Over 155,ooo die every day. I love my immediate family
more than almost every one plus a few close friends. Then it depends on who I know, where they are, what
country, etc. God Bless you if you really mourn 155,ooo people every night.
What a twisted and sick way to "genetically modify" morality.
Just because you love your family more than you love others, and just because you do not mourn for every person that dies somewhere every minute, for a variety of causes (many of them natural), does not mean you should approve or even encourage actions that would lead to the death of people far away, simply because those people are not your own kid or some other family member, and simply because they are far enough away for your brain to cease functioning.
Perhaps your little wooden mind might want to try imagine how a family member of those you are killing with your acquiescing and approval, will feel when they see their dead.
It's called empathy ans humanity.
It's called being able to put yourself in the shoes of others.
It is a normal part of psychological development in humans and if you do not have it, you are clearly mentally defect.
Your friend in the army is a piece of garbage and it would be real nice if he became collateral damage, we need less people like him on this earth.
Do they matter as much to God, of course! They are beautiful, innocent children of the lords regardless of there religious beliefs. They were created in his image and he loves them. Do they matter as much as Americans to us? Of course not, we are Americans, we are selfish, and they are poor and live in a third world country. On top of that our media has most of us believing all Pakistani children have bombs strapped to them. This world is fallen and cold.
So sad to see drops of light in an ocean of putrefaction...

Show me where I said any of those things. You are delusional. Please read my posts,
and stop putting words in my mouth.
Just for your edification, I coach youth sports, and volunteer over 400 hours every year
to my community. Besides your pontification on here, do you actually DO anything for
your fellow man?
Not to belittle what happened in Colorado - but with the day in/ day out coverage dedicated to the 12 who died, and the visit by president Obama - has he ever said so much as a word about the innocents killed by drone strikes? Has the media ever so much as mentioned it? Do they know how 'terrorists' get created?
Please forgive my callousness - I forgot how much more valuable an American life is than a Pakistani's.

Why would they count?
They're brown and what's known as "collateral damage".
