Cheney, Rove, Gonzales, Bush: How Many More Lives Will Be Lost?
Our guest writer, Dr. C. von Blum asks the question:
HOW MANY?
Some on the left have offered comparisons and similarities between this current conflict and others in the past.
I maintain that ultimately there will be little basis for such comparisons.
In Nam, we suffered, I’m not sure, but my sense is, around 50,000. US dead and probably three times that wounded.
In World WarII probably at least 10 million lost their lives.
This conflict is far from over and our losses have been nearly 7000 including 911.
It seems a small number by comparison, but it ain’t over. By the time these sociopaths have run out our string, billions more may be incinerated in a global thermo-nuclear conflict that will be the almost certain result of the confrontation with Iran, that Cheney and the other sociopathic neo-cons are so desperate to promote. So who is the greater mass murderer, Hitler, Nixon/Johnson, or Cheney/Rove? 600,000 dead Iraqis will be a drop in the GOP bucket. My money is on the current batch, because they are far crazier than their predecessors.
Why? This is a reasonable question, since they will very likely be among the casualties.
Firstly I think you must concede they are quite mad. Megalomania precludes reason
They are all making piles of money from this war, They must because they are aware, but they certainly won’t admit, how unstable the global monetary system is.
Even people as out of touch with reality as Cheney are aware of their own mortality; they are desperate to amass so much wealth that a complete meltdown of the global economy will not effect their progeny. I think they are probably pretty close.
