Death and Destruction.

Let us speak for a moment of death and destruction.

Around the world many nations are killing their citizens, either through neglect or outright executions. The totals of these deaths is staggering.

840 million people are estimated to be chronically malnourished and their life expectancy is half that of the average US citizen. In nations such as Sudan where the government restricts relief and foreign aid - this is, in essence, a political slow and steady genocide.

North Korea, clings to failed communism and as a result its people starve and die young. Its leadership was pacified by the Clinton administration at the same time its human rights abuse were glossed over by the most incompetent Secretary of State of a generation, Madeline Albright - herself a creature of UN bureaucracy and policies of dictator appeasement.

In countries like India the dead are collected on carts and beaters walk through the streets hitting people to see if they are asleep or dead, and then collecting the malnourished and starved bodies -and this is in an improved India, in which many widespread famines have been averted over the last decade.

Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and countless other African nations harbor citizens who live little better than animals, and whom absolutely NO amount of money can save without the elimination and replacement of their corrupt governments.

Saddam is killing millions of his citizens starving them slowly and depriving them of medicines by building hundreds of palaces, in some insane self-glorification and aggrandizement, which many at the UN seem to ignore or act as merely a minor eccentricity. All the while this starvation and medicine shortage is blamed upon the UN sanctions and the US in some perverse joke.

Ironically, the Bush administration has now embarked upon a quest no one save a few asked of it - saving the lives of 3,000,000 Africans with AIDS over the next three years and establishing a system of medicine which will enble countless more to live longer than ever changing the entire face of the continents' death rate and longevity.

The war in Iraq will hav a human toll - and even a single life is precious -but the net result of this conflict will not even be a dent in the bucket when compared to the killing being done right now around the world by the dictators and appeasers of the UN.

When the caches of weapons of mass destruction are revealed by the freed Iraqis, and subsequently destroyed, the world will have likely saved itself of millions of future deaths.

George Bush, "the war-mongering killer" is a farce created by people with serious mental inadequacies. The reality is Bush will save more lives in the next several years than the entire UN has in the past two decades.
