WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE WROUGHT
The Democrats were complicit, started or continued wars after WW11. The killing, poisoning of lands and the destruction of infrastructure ensued. Let's start with the only use of the atomic bomb in Japan. Then millions were killed in Korea and then in Viet Nam. Subsequently came Bush #1 who killed countless Iraqis in the first Gulf War after supporting Saddam Hussein for years even supplying him with chemical weapons against its war with Iran.
Clinton, the esteemed Democrat president continued the killing of Iraqis under the guise of sanctions, which killed over 500,000 Iraqi children. When Madeline Albright was asked on 60 Minutes (5/12/96) by Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it? Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it. Lest we forget every time Clinton unzipped his fly, to distract from his extra-marital affairs, it was to bomb Iraq softening it up for subsequent invasion by by Bush #2. By the way what concerned a lot of Americans most about Clinton: "Do you wear boxer shorts or briefs?"
In between the wars listed above American presidents went into Panama, Grenada and other forgotten skirmishes.
Now we gleefully claim “Mission Accomplished” after another few million deaths and displacement in Iraq. But the end is not in sight because we have our latest savior, President Obama, escalating the war in Afghanistan, killing even more people in that part of the world than the hated second Bush. And, of course, we are seriously contemplating a war with Iran in order to keep the military-industrial complex afloat.
Can we dispute the Reverend Martin Luther Kings’ prophetic words; “America is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” And probably for all time.
