Body Count - It Is Not Equivalent

As I’ve tripped through various blogs, and other more traditional online media, the past week or so, I’ve noted a disturbing trend.  More and more individuals are attempting to equate the number of deaths from the events of 9/11, to the number of deaths tallyed to date by the military, and then to label Bush in the same vein as the terrorists who perpetrated the acts of 9/11.

The murder of the victims of 9/11 do not equate to the deaths of military personnel killed in action.  The two are not equivalent.

Utilization of the one, as equivalent to the other, is simply intellectual laziness.
