When you dehumanize a person, you can justify any crime you carry out upon them. This serves to justify, encourage what is essentially an abhorrent foreign policy. And in the wider scheme it serves to exonerate any blame.
So when you hear these words like ‘A million Iraqi people dead’ you are desensitized to the words ‘Iraqis dead’, you are desensitized to these words because it’s almost part of everyday life. On wednesday the 24th of June 80 Iraqi people died. On thursday the 25th of June one very very very talented American musician died. Okay? We are seeing a much bigger outpour of grief for this *one* human being than for 80 human beings in *one day*. In ONE DAY!
So basically that’s pretty much it the point I want to make most importantly is you must realize that a life is a life. A life is a life! And a human being is a human being! And the same value must be attached to all human life and once that happens then equality can become reality and we can all live in Peace and harmony; how we should.
