DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER

DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER
All told, governments killed more than 262 million people in the 20th century outside of wars, according to University of Hawaii political science professor R.J. Rummel. Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5', then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century. Finally, given popular estimates of the dead in a major nuclear war, this total democide is as though such a war did occur, but with its dead spread over a century

Former President George W. Bush made his first candid public comments on the killing of Osama bin Laden during an appearance Wednesday at a conference of hedge fund managers in Las Vegas.
"I was eating souffle at Rise Restaurant with Laura and two buddies," Bush said when asked what he was doing when he received the call from President Obama, according to an ABC News contributor who attended the event.
"I excused myself and went home to take the call," Bush said. "Obama simply said 'Osama Bin Laden is dead.'"
Bush said Obama described in detail the secret mission to raid bin Laden's Pakistani compound and the decision he made to put the plan into motion. He told Obama, "Good call."
The 43rd president and man who initiated the hunt for bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks has shied from the spotlight since news broke nearly two weeks ago. Bush has declined interview requests and Obama's invitation to join him at Ground Zero to meet with victims' families and first responders four days after the raid.

But appearing before the crowd of 1,800 at the glitzy Bellagio resort and casino, Bush appeared light-hearted and relaxed in talking about bin Laden's death.
When asked by forum moderator Melissa Lee of CNBC how he felt upon learning the news, Bush said he was "not overjoyed," explaining that the campaign to track down the 9/11 mastermind was done not "out of hatred but to exact judgment."
The development is ultimately a victory for the American people, he said.
"The guy is dead. That is good," Bush said of bin Laden. "Osama's death is a great victory in the war on terror. He was held up as a leader."
"The intelligence services deserve a lot of credit. They built a mosaic of information, piece by piece," he said, claiming no credit for himself.
"I met SEAL Team Six in Afghanistan. They are awesome, skilled, talented and brave," he added. "I said, 'I hope you have everything you need. One guy said, 'We need your permission to go into Pakistan and kick ass.'"
Bush said U.S. foreign policy needs to continue to promote the ideas of democracy and freedom as a way to combat global terrorism.
"The long-term solution is to promote a better ideology, which is freedom. Freedom is universal," Bush said. "People who do not look like us want freedom just as much. The relatives of [former Secretary of State]Condoleezza Rice over 100 years ago wanted freedom. It is only when you do not have hope in a society that you join a suicide bomber team."

SearamblerOne, you'll never convince these people of the truth because people will never admit they voted and supported the wrong guy. It's a scientific fact that even when presented with facts, some people are so hell bent on believing what they believe, they will go to their graves defending their position. We know the truth about GB. And so do they. Just let them live in their fantasy world. At least GB is gone for good. I hope he has a nice life and stays out of politics.

Eric6517: wow, thank you for such knowledge and wisdom, telling me that the Laffer Curve doesn't exist. Without you, I would've had to rely solely on treasury data, hundreds of other PhD economists, as well as Laffer who won a Nobel Prize. So, then, where did the extra revenue come from when Bush lowered taxes, if that wasn't the cause? Because you can look at the IRS figures and that's exactly what happened. Maybe it was some of that magic money from Obama's stash! We actually DOUBLED revenues to the treasury. But just because we raised more money, doesn't mean that we spent less. Which was the problem. And why the independents turned on the republicans. Which is also why its funny that you libs are now spending 10x what Bush did, and somehow expecting to keep the independents on board by pointing to Bush and saying, "he did it, too!"

If the Bin Laden kill had been carried out under George Bush's direction, liberals everywhere would be going crazy (instead of making polite protests like Rosie O'Donnell and Michael Moore did). There would be people in the streets demanding Bush's head for having Bin Laden murdered.Most important, the liberal TV newshows (especially the evening news at ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/MSNBC) would make the Bush-is-a-murderer view prominent every day all day long as they lined up one liberal after another to point out that Bin Laden should have been captured and brought back to the U.S. to be tried by a jury of his peers. Bush would be soundly condemned instead of being praised, as was Obama, for taking bold action.
