The next part may sound selfish to some, some it may not. But I would rather see an innocent of another country die before an innocent from my own.
Do I justify the Innocent's death by telling myself that his death saved an American innocent? No.
It may be kind of hard to understand for some. Maybe I am not putting into the correct words.
Would I die to save an innocent that is in Iraq? I like to think that I would.

I admire you and will take your words at the value I give you. You are an American hero, thus your thought process, that is what makes you great.
Would you justify an innocents death save one of your brothers?
If I were in uniform today, fighting a war, and needed to lay down my life to save an innocent person - yes because that is my call.
The place I am in today seeing the fighting that is going on and the stupidity of some of the rules of engagement that I see - not blowing up places of worship, heros being brought up on charges of murder, political correctness hamstringing our efforts. I am at the point that I want the advantage and I may have spoken with emotion instead of intelligence.
