Bush\u2019s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic. Uncontroversially, his crimes vastly exceed bin Laden\u2019s, and he is not a \u201csuspect\u201d but uncontroversially the \u201cdecider\u201d who gave the orders to commit the \u201csupreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole\u201d (quoting the Nuremberg Tribunal) for which Nazi criminals were hanged: the hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of refugees, destruction of much of the country, the bitter sectarian conflict that has now spread to the rest of the region.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He writes like he&#8217;s at least brain dead. George W. Bush led a nation, bin Laden led a band of blood-thirsty thugs who cut off the heads of non-combatants for entertainment. So, I guess we&#8217;re (Americans) all Nazis, because not only did we elect George Bush once, we re-elected him after the wars were in full swing.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Same with the name, Operation Geronimo. The imperial mentality is so profound, throughout western society, that no one can perceive that they are glorifying bin Laden by identifying him with courageous resistance against genocidal invaders. It\u2019s like naming our murder weapons after victims of our crimes: Apache, Tomahawk\u2026 It\u2019s as if the Luftwaffe were to call its fighter planes \u201cJew\u201d and \u201cGypsy.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Like I said &#8211; brain dead crusty old <del datetime=\"2011-05-08T02:00:54+00:00\">turn<\/del> turd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What?
