It's a bit far fetched to compare mistakenly shooting at some people you perceived as a threat to you/your comrades to deliberately flying jetliners into two skyscrapers full that you KNEW were office workers - not soldiers.

I don't see the double standard.

The lack of compassion is disturbing though, which is the point I'm making - to my knowledge none of us have been in or been conditioned to function in a warzone.
