Yeah, but I think the killing of the professor, et al was ancillary to his real issue....HIS weapons were the ones doing the killing. HE was responsible for the deaths. War is war...peaople are going to die on both sides. To me, Stark would have been so appalled at seeing the true destructive cost in HUMAN LIVES that he could no longer, in good concious, make things specifically designed to take a human life...ANY HUMAN LIFE...again.
My point is more that he decided that he no longer wanted to have anything to do with killing ANYBODY any longer. Thats why he decided to stop making weapons. PERIOD.
Re: bin Laden...since he and his organization took responsibility for 9/11, there was a clear target for America's righteous anger. Having read many of your posts here and elsewhere since 9/11, I know that we come down on different idealogical sides of the war...however, I do agree that almost every American...including me...wanted to see bin Laden dead as some small measure of revenge for 9/11.
Now, if you say that Stark wanted to kill the specific terrorists that kept him hostage, killed his friend, killed civilians...all with weapons that he himself manufactured...and you can say that it was vengeance on his part..?
Well I can definitely agree with you about that. Personal trumps idealogical. But, I'd still say that once those that he held responsible were dealt with, he would not DIRECTLY take a life if he could help it.
Oderint, dum metuant.
You are a god damned idiot, you know that? You ought to be smacked upside your dumb-fuck head, even after all these years. Shame on you!
