Culture of Life or Culture of Living Death?

From Terry Schiavo to Iraq is a very insightful article that looks at the zealots trying to "save" Schiavo.

As the article so nicely points out, this crowd is the same that:

"seem completely untroubled by the fact that current Republican policies are consigning thousands of additional children in the United States to death every year."

"cared nothing about the over half a million children under the age of five who died as a result of the sanctions on Iraq, held on the country beyond all reason by U.S. pressure."

"who held ecstatic religious rites before the destruction of Fallujah in November, and one of whom said, "The enemy has got a face - he's called Satan, he's in Falluja, and we're going to destroy him."

" can be found suggesting that we really need to exterminate the vile Arabs because apparently they don't venerate the same God that we supposedly do."

"are just fine with having the state terminate care to a patient against the guardian's will, as happened just a few days ago with a poor black baby in Houston, Texas - killed under the auspices of the Texas Futile Care Law, signed by Bush when he was governor of Texas."

So what is motivating these people to turn their eyes away from so many to focus on one person's plight? Can you say theocracy?
