Dear Mr. Cheney
Whazzup, dude? You're still yanking our chain about Iraq! You're trying to pretend that you haven't made a fucking fortune on the "war" in Iraq, and that your buddies in both Blackwater and Halliburton aren't making fucking fortunes as well?

Mr. Cheney, your heart is pure black, pure evil, and no one is buying your scare tactics anymore--except perhaps those 24% who still think you and your puppet are doing a "helluva" job in our nation's capitol.

Kids are dying. They are being maimed, they are subjected to psychic trauma, to physical trauma, and they don't deserve the shit you and the idiot are hurling at them.

If only you and every one of your sordid PNAC group, as well as other chickenhawk friends of yours had served in the military, it would have been different. Most people in the military know what war is like. And if you need reminding, since your brain isn't functioning outside of its greed and destruction parts, here are some quotes from leaders, worldwide, and both good and evil:



"There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory,
but boys, it is all hell." ~ General Sherman

"I am sick and tired of war. Its glory is all moonshine.
It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard
the shrieks and groans of the wounded
who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
War is hell." ~ From "On Killing" by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman

Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose—and you allow him to make war at pleasure. ~ Abraham Lincoln

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. ~ Adolph Hitler

Any excuse will serve a tyrant. ~ Aesop

It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners. ~ Albert Camus

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants. ~ Albert Camus

Force always attracts men of low morality. ~ Albert Einstein



You are, Mr. Cheney, simply reprehensible. You have no good purpose in life, nor, do I believe, have you ever. You play the same sorry tune to the point where people begin to believe it because they don't know any better, and you are satisfied with the number of people who take you at your word.

At your word, sir. Your word sucks. Your word is corrupt. You word is simply a lie couched in distraction, and meant only for those too weak to know the truth. Your word is vile.

There are few men in history who have been as evil as you are. You can definitely count yourself in good company, though: Hitler, Joe McCarthy, Franco, Idi Amin, Mussolini. ...I could probably count on my fingers those cruel tyrants whose company you would inspire, those who destroyed many people, establish horrible laws and legislation, and who have inspired many would-be dictators coming up in the world.

I really have a lot more to say, sir, but I don't have the stomach to continue. I would find that anything more is just a repeat of some other epithet, and while your wickedness knows no bounds, my sense of redundancy forces me to quit, even though I'm nowhere near ahead.

1. In my concept of reality,
when one dies, one becomes aware of all their actions in the life they have led--and all the repercussions. It is presented without blinders, unvarnished, stark. And then the soul sits in judgment of itself. Conscience long dormant is awakened as the Higher Self unites with the lower. The result can be heaven, or it can be hell. But it is of each person's own making.

4. I admire your patience and optimism
Wish I had some of that about the Dick.

I want the pain he causes others to stop asap. And I don't trust he has a conscience of any kind to awaken.

6. Thankfully, those without souls will not have that opportunity.
No reincarnation, no heaven or hell, just... gone.

Thanks for a different perspective. Of all the things I've heard before, this is the best spoken explanation of what I believe. What could be worse than being damned by your own, higher conscience?

Being unable to blame an outside influence, whether it be Satan, God, St. Peter, etc... for your fate is unthinkable. The whole "I'm just a victim" meme goes out the window - on a rocket.

5. Do you really think he cares?
I've thought about what I'd like to say to the criminals, and I keep running up against te same idea: they wouldn't care. As a matter of fact, they'd probably be proud that they couldevoke disgust like they do. I'm more and more convinced that it would take the physical instead of the verbal to get through to them.
