So far this week, George W. Bush administration Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has appeared on Charlie Rose, Stephen Colbert, and The View, ostensibly to hawk his video game app for "Churchill Solitaire," all the while appearing before crowds (except Charlie Rose) who are prompted to cheer at the introduction for a man who played an integral role in lying us into the Iraq War, which, by the way, resulted in the deaths of 4500 Americans and (by the most conservative of estimates) 150,000 Iraqis, the vast majority of whom were civilians.
Not to mention the three trillion dollar sinkhole it became for our budget, which President Obama has gamely been trying to help dig our way out of for almost eight years.
Am I the only one who wonders where our moral compass is when we celebrate a man largely responsible for such carnage? Or wonders how the wheels could have fallen so far off the track?
Is a dollar really worth that much?
Peace,
