How many Afghan kids is an American kid worth?

Editor,

Are children in Afghanistan who are massacred by the United States’ drone attacks less human than the children massacred in Sandy Hook?

Are children in Palestine who are massacred by United States’ helicopters less precious than the children massacred in Sandy Hook?

Do the families of Iraqi children massacred by the United States’ bombs suffer less agony than the families of children massacred in Sandy Hook?

When would it be right for another nation to murder our children? If never, how can it be right for the United States to murder their children?

Is the United States’ mass murder of thousands of children in many nations for decades less evil than the insane gunman’s mass murder of 20 children in Sandy Hook?

We have paid no federal income tax for more than 30 years. We refuse to pay for the United States to massacre multitudes of moms, dads and children.
