Re: Litvinenko, again
Nodrog, when you define the "serious"ness of a comparision then a valid comparison is analogous to one you agree with in whatever detail you care to go into, which is normally that point when you realise that the two events aren't exactly the same. It's not like there aren't different levels of comparison and when you're talking about the end result, dead people, it's hardly an awful comparison.
Ditto to Achilles and he proposed that others wouldn't care, not that he didn't give a damn. I can't see why he should be ashamed of his pessimistic view of other people's interests.
