Do you support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Do you like tomatoes?
You can't claim to value lives of Americans more than anyone else if you support war. Sorry, it's just kind of how intellectual honesty works.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
-- John Stuart Mill
Looks like Mill had you pegged.
