Pacifier, it's the mind *behind* the killing that matters.

If a terrorist blows up innocent civilians, he does it to kill as many people as possible, and to prolong a conflict.

If a US combat pilot drops a bomb onto an enemy position, the goal is not necessarily to kill the enemy, but to end the conflict.

The difference is quite obvious: terrorists kill to kill, while the US army wants to kill to *stop* the killing.

...right?
