I have, in my mind, the following sentence from your post: > >after outbursts >like that the amerikkkan soldiers deserve to be killed >by the iraqis. > There are many similar outbursts by many people around the world, including extremists: Narendra Modi who says nasty things against Muslims in Gujarat; mullahs in the Middle East who routinely call for Death to Israel at their Friday sermons.... I could go on and on. Does the universe you describe, in which "outbursts like that" mean American soldiers "deserve to be killed" allow for consistency, and should all of them be killed, too?
