Uh....right.
The case could be made that terrorists are "saving" the environment by thinning the herd.> 3] It has gained support for this power by providing health care [to > an unnamed population] Ditto. And ask those southern Lebanese how they feel about those health services now. Hezbollah built ammo dumps under schools and hospitals. Did the BBC tell you that?The case can be made that putting ammo dumps there is actually *saving* human life, because the Hezbollah people know we won't bomb a school. If they put the dumps out where we'd be tempted to bomb them, the resulting explosion could easily kill and maim people for a long distance around. So it's just Hezbollah removing the temptation from us to kill everybody in a half-mile radius. :)
I won't be the one making it though.

Sure thing, Valdis. Love the moral equivalency.
