Interesting... So, you are saying that killing 10's of thousands of Iraqi's so that a theoretical 'many' can be theoretically 'safer' is immoral- right?

I also must assume that you are also a strong and vocal opponent of the death penalty, right?

I must assume the above, because the alternative is to assume that you are an ignorant, shallow, immoral person who is incapable of seeing the inherent contradictions between what he supports and what he claims to be his own personal morality...


Of course it is odd that you follow the above statement with "I would be happy to kill any scientist or doctor that actually thinks they have a right to harm or murder humans [and of course, acts on this belief] in the name of science or "progress".

wouldnt that be "Killing a fewer people for the sake of a theoretical many"?

You really dont see any contradictions here, do you?
