I wasn't asking about World War II, but you answered my question. There is apparently no limit to your willingness to kill the blameless and the culpable alike to "save" even a single American. And that appears to be based on two things: your "knowledge" of the U.S. Constitution (I'd love to hear just where you think it requires mass murder to protect American citizens) and some strange notion of - is it sacrifice? The idea that because you're going to hell anyway, you're free to commit acts that would otherwise condemn you? Or would your pushing the button be an attempt at redemption? Or would it be revenge for having been committed there in the first place (which has occurred only, so far as any man can tell, in your imagination)?
What a strange, and profoundly repugnant, set of beliefs. Well - I hope it's strange.
It would be bad enough if you were to base such extreme beliefs on vengeance - but you base them on nothing more than fear (I gather that no one has to actually suffer harm to trigger your response; you write of "saving"). And worse, you know - or you should know - that your killing spree wouldn't really protect you from your enemies; after all, their killing sprees wouldn't protect them from you. But maybe logic doesn't intrude upon such a mind.
What a world you live in, Chip. It seems to me that you don't have to wait for eternity - you're already in Hell.
