Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who’s the Biggest Terrorist Of All?

On Friday night I had the pleasure of seeing a truly great and courageous American, Harry Belafonte, make opening remarks at The Commission on Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration held at Riverside Church in New York.

Belafonte, who several years ago got mainstream punditry all upset by calling Colin Powell a house slave, has shaken things up again by calling George W. Bush “the world’s greatest terrorist.”

It didn’t take long for the right wing “patriotic” yahoos to call for his scalp. How dare he?! It’s outrageous! It’s treasonous! But has anyone stopped to ask… is it true?

The reasonably conservative estimate of civilian deaths caused by Bush’s unprovoked attack on the sovereign state of Iraq (defined by the Nuremburg War Crimes Tribunal to be the highest of all war crimes) is 100,000. On a straight mathematical basis, that would be equal to one Twin Tower attack every month for close to three years. Think about that. Think about how we would feel if such a thing were to come to pass on American soil. Then try to think how Iraqis in particular, and Arabs in general must feel about what has been unleashed by George Bush.

And we shouldn't shy away from calling W what he really is - a TERRORIST.

2. Belafonte must know that they allowed Nixon to resign in the shadow of ..

Obstruction of Justice.
He must know that they allowed Nixon to slide on the carpet bombing of Cambodia and Laos and Hanoi.
Belafonte is willing to shout out this accusation in the name of Peace and Justice.
Bravo!
Who will follow?
