Too all those who think we should not completely destroy the assailants

WHAT?? That's a horrible analogy. You're implying that the terrorists sacrificed their lives to save lives? They (and whatever groups that supported them) killed thousands of INNOCENT people in NYC that had no direct or indirect involvement in the problems in the Middle East. The U.S. Airforce, on the other hand, downed a plane that probably would have been used to kill hundreds or even thousands more. Where's the comparison, or the hypocrisy?

The hypocrisy lies within the fact that innocent people were killed in both incidents. In a moral sense, the ends are what matter no matter the means in which it was committed.

The vast majority of the people on the plane were innocent and had no direct or indirect involvement either. It is the same thing.

Yes, morally speaking it is the same exact thing. The numbers only cloud the the true issue.

2THICK, in the first place the plane was not shot down. In the second place if it was by a fighter jet it was to save more lives. These people were going to pass on anyway. It did not happen that way though.

Hear say at this point:

A) Three people on the plane tried to save eveybody and the plane crashed in the process. One person spoke to his family from the on board phone and told them they had a plan.

B)The pilot himself took the plane down to avoid killing more.

C)It was shot down.

2THICK I hope I am misunderstanding you.

I am not trying to validate anything that has happened or to say that it was right.

I am merely pointing out that we should be equally outraged at both incidents (as neutral observers and not as people that have been affected).

I do see your point about the fate of the people on the plane no matter how the plane went down and that does make sense if you look strictly at the numbers.

Understood.
