7 dead astronauts - 1,000's of murdered civilians - millions faking grief

I just don't understand this...Can somebody clear this up for me. Are these pro war hawks faking when they act as though they are bothered by seven dead astronauts who died doing something they loved and wanted to do? These seven astronauts knew the risks they were taking and accepted it. Unfortunately, they never made it back to earth.But I really don't understand how so many pathetic faking people are acting so hardened and sad from it all. This exploding shuttle has been all over the news. What about the civilians that are going to be killed in Iraq?How can a pro war American put on a sad face over seven international astronauts who died doing their duty (who knew the risks) then completely brush off the fact that thousands of Iraqians soldiers will be forced to defend their country and ultimately perish?And What about the civilians? .....How can one brush off the fact that hundreds of civilians in Iraq will be killed by American fire power but then put on their saddest faces when confronted with seven dead astronauts--7 measly people who died knowing the risks?Does this make sense? "Civilian always die in war. That is just a part of war but it is Saddam's fault if hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians are killed." The same people who say this stuff are all over the news right now in full pathetic glory pouting about how they are saddened by such a tiny loss of astronaut life. HOW ARE THESE FAKING SYMPATHIZERS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS?---Are you fooled by the sad faces that many of these phony news reporters put on as they are reporting the loss of this space shuttle Columbia?---How is the death of these astronauts more tragic than the blood American is going to shed in Iraq?

yes people are faking greif. I agree with you on that. However, should the U.S. stand by and allow Saddam to produce these weapons? what other purpose would they have than to be used against civilian targets. How many civilians would die then?

also. you act as if the U.S. is going to go over there and kill civilians on purpose. such acts would not be beneficial to the overall success of the Iraqi campaign.[This message has been edited by Winston Smith Asriel, 03-06-2003]
