Ah, yes. The old 'moral equivalence' argument. Dropping an atomic bomb on
Hiroshima to end more than ten years of the most horrible war in history is
somehow morally equivalent to the world trade center attack.

Makes about as much sense as the PETA argument that eating a chicken is
morally the same as killing a human.

You are an idiot.
