I certainly agree with a lot of his propositions, but he starts to make moral equations between people who target civilians and people who don't, and then blames weapon manufacturers for illegal resales without accepting that nations must defend themselves. Furthermore, he does it with such a sense of self-righteousness that I'd like to just beat the crap out of him first before talking to him. After I did something like that I feel like I'd enjoy discussing things with him.
then I don't think he morally equates those things, he just points out the reaction of the survivors and the people who have lost loved ones - which isn't going to be very different in the two cases. Of course you could be referring to passages later in the book, I haven't gotten very far yet.

You associate non-fiction with work? Are you a non-fiction book reviewer by day?

I like non-fiction as long as it's not preachy.
