Alan Hu makes an interesting comparison to Empire.  Unfortunately,
it's not quite the same.  Empire is a game, this is not.  In Empire,
people are worth practically nothing; given food and iron, I can
turn out about 10000 people a day (and note they will be full fledged
adults capable of work in other sectors); I can't do that in real
life.  So if I lose several hundred people in Empire, no one cares.
If some country shoots down a few hundred in real life though, people
care (as they should) -- it's just a low down, barbarious, terrorist
act.
