Most of those people have died by their own hands. Life is not precious to many of them, not even their own.

Am I the only one to find such sentences disturbing ?
Most of those people died by the hands of terrorists, not "their own".
The grief and suffering of an Iraqi family losing a son lining up for a police job (#1 targets, hundreds killed) or a mother at a marketplace bombing is exactly the same as the grief and suffering of a New Jersey family losing someone in WTC.
Who do you think you are to decide whose life is precarious and whose is not ?

No, you're one of the only ones who can't think outside the context though.


Those same "Terrorists" you are talking about are Iraqi, NOT AMERICAN and they are neighbors, former friends or enemies, same religeous sect and not.
Die by their own hand means that it is mostly Iraqis killing Iraqis. There is nothing here about supporting or condemning that. It is just an observation.
I think I could see when someones life is PRECARIOUS, but I wasn't talking about that. (Someone who's car is hanging half-off a bridge might be considered to have a life that along with the car is precariously holding on )
