All lives lost are not equivilent. A young soldier's life is worth more than an old, fat Republican draft-dodger's life who is peddling around in spandex somewhere. David Halberstams's life was worth more than Anna Nicole Smith's.
If all of the chief neocon architects of the Iraq invasion had somehow miraculously died in a speeding Suburban crash or skied into trees, Bush would have been left holding his dick and not knowing whether to flip, fukc or fly. No drummed-up intelligence, no phony reasons for war, etc... And I would believe that God was not sleeping on the job lately.
