Rather 1000 anonymous muslims dead then one citizen from the west. Its a sad world.
If it makes you feel any better, only some Americans value American lives over a human life. Yes I put it that way, placing value on a human life based on nationality, or the like, is de-humanizing. IMO people who think like that are less than human, and have alot of learning to do. Death is the same whoever you are and where ever your from, it is DEATH.

Anyway, I respect the humility and the sense of responsibility displayed by the Dutch goverment, traits sorely lacking in many of my so-called leaders here in America.
