One shameful, despicable war-criminal responsible for some three-quarters of a million civilian deaths in Iraq - George Bush Jr., current occupant of the White House - could be replaced with a bigger, badder, more dangerous version - John McCain.
It is shocking that the vast majority of American voters are somnolescent and oblivious to this danger. That leading Republican figures like California governor Schwarzenegger and former NYC mayor Giuliani have thrown their weight behind this unabashed war-mongerer, who openly declares that he will stay the course in Iraq, keep American troops there for a "hundred years", and attack Iran....
This man has no shame either for the massive American crimes against Vietnam (some 3 million casualties), openly declaring during a recent debate that it was the American people that prevented victory....apparently he does not believe that it is civilians who are the ultimate boss...will such an odious figure become the next American president?
Under Bush the US has openly practised torture......under McCain, a torture victim, may we expect torture to become official policy?
As Kubrick put it in Full Metal Jacket, 'we live in a world of shit'....
