pandora_parrotNote, this entry was originally published on my old blog back in 2004. I have ported it here for completion.
Okay, so on the one hand, you've got a guy that has, at the support of his home country, murdered 3,279 non-combatant innocent civilians. On the other hand, you've got a guy, who, at the support of his country, has murdered at least 14,770 civilians, and possibly as many as 100,000 civilians. They both want their country to be free of terrorism and foreign interference. Both target centers of wealth for their attacks. If you really think about it, which one is worse?
Interesting to note, of course, that the first is Osama Bin Laden, and the second is George W Bush. And also interesting to note that both of them deserve to be locked up and have the key thrown away. But while we hate and despise the first one, we love the second, apparently. You might think that its because Bin Laden kills Americans whereas Bush kills Arabs, but you're wrong there. Although not having outright killed as many as Bin Laden, nearly half of the number killed by Bin Laden, 1,299 American soldiers, have died fighting Bush's illegal, unjust, and immoral war. I also find it interesting that 1,162 of these deaths have occurred AFTER Bush declared the war to be over. In addition to that, sadly, are nearly 15,000 injuries. Oh joy.
I happened upon this article and a quick skim seems to indicate that it pretty much outlines what I think we should do to Bush right now. Impeach, try, and imprison this murderer.
And here's something very funny to end this rather longish journal entry.
