The mere fact that you CAN kill me means that I have no such "inalienable" right to life.

The right to life is granted when one exhibits the properties of life.

Who is "one"? What is "one"? Cows? Pigs? Dolphins? Fish?
Or just humans? If so, Why just humans?

The fact that the American government violated those people's rights doesn't mean they weren't endowed with them. Hypocrisy? Yes. A negation of the rights theory? No.

How can the US government violate the very rights they defined, granted, and extended? Is the US government the ultimate authority on the "right to life"? Only US citizens have a right to life?
