in order for an American life to be worth more, somebody elses life has to be devalued...and to devalue the life of another, you have to dehumanize them as well.
as somebody said before we tend to form groups and societies based on our common denominators and experiences that we care about. it's easy to philosophize in terms of nationalities and countries. but i bet you would value the life of your personal friend over a life of some stranger. now imagine, gasp, that some people care about lives of their fellow americans that they can emphasize with over the life of a foreigner they know and understand nothing about. and it's not a matter of right or wrong either, it's just human. it's just how it works.
