&gt; I&#x27;d reiterate that Americans believe that themselves.<p>You really don&#x27;t see the difference?<p>Americans justify the use of nukes on the basis of the war being
just. For example, if we&#x27;d nuked Japan because we thought sushi
was an abomination, approval of	our use of nukes would plummet. If
we&#x27;d nuked Japan after the war, approval would plummet. If we
killed Japaneese Americans rather than Japaneese, approval
would plummet. This is why it&#x27;s dishonest to equate approval of the
wartime use of nukes to the approval of the suicide bombing of
civilians on a subway. The foundational beliefs have no similarity.<p>Also, saying that a large percentage of muslims feel like they are in combat
with their countrymen doesn&#x27;t make it any better... if anything it just
makes the survey data scarier.<p>From <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.samharris.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;item&#x2F;sleepwalking-toward-armageddon" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.samharris.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;item&#x2F;sleepwalking-toward-armag...</a><p>&gt; More British Muslims have joined the ranks of ISIS than have volunteered to serve in the British armed forces.
