Where's the "empathy"? All I see is tool use. And that _is_ what's going on. I know the difference. If the tool users cared anything about that dead, the maimed, and the bereaved, they would have mentioned them once or twice without using them to flog someone else.
Well, I can do the same thing: I accuse the accusers. I'm as good at hatred as anyone. How do you like it?
