Somebody please explain to me why this man's head does not explode from the internal contradictions. How can someone who recently sanctioned the death of thousands of innocent people in Afghanistan say this? If the means justifies the end ala the bombings, why the fuss about fetal cell research? Or am I just hopelessly naive for even assuming he should maintain a logical, consistent position about the value of human life?
