That sentance implies that you're saying that it doesn't matter how many people are killed, or who is killed, or the circumstance of someone being killed. If there's no difference between killing and killing, then there's no difference between someone shooting Hitler (I know this didn't happen except for himself, just an example) and decapitating the kid next door. Be careful of the statements you make!

Actually, I don't think we were discussing the relationship between his worth as a human and others, i.e. Saddam <=> Other humans, rather, just the general conception of what it means to kill one person or a thousand people. Either that, or I've just missed the whole point of this sub-discussion a long time ago...
Bottom line is, I
don't think that any person is more worth than a thousand. However, when saying "there's no difference between killing and killing" I do not mean that it doesn't matter how many people you kill, rather, that there's a very thin line between the magnitude of the crime committed. I'm not thinking numbers here, although it might appear that I do, but like I said, I was only thinking about the way of killing. However, you are right in the sense that it's rather hard to overlook a Hitler/decapitated child scenario.
