I would pay to see that.
However, while our fundies have bake sales, their fundies massacre non-combatants.
I find that sort of relativism amusing.

(A) How can you think I am drawing that comparison?
(B) My post, which did imply what you said, could much more rationally be read (as intended) to point out the strong influence of certain Christian fundamentalists (including our President) on U.S. foreign policy and the war against terrorism, and to note that the fight to the death has begun.
(C) My post was not about tactics, but the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan aren't armed with brownies.
(D) While our troops haven't engaged in activities like those on the long list you've posted for the Islamicists, it is worth noting that plenty of non-combatants (including at least hundreds of children) have died in the fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
(E) But those are the breaks, after all, because those wars were fought in self-defense (except for Iraq).
