On March 19, 2008 the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq, vice-president Dick Cheney spent the day fishing on the Sultan of Oman's 60 foot yacht. Cheney was a major architect of the invasion and disastrous occupation of Iraq. During the Viet Nam war, which Cheney supported, he received five draft deferments claiming he had more important things to do than serve his country in the military.
Just a nice thought for those of you who have lost loved ones or been devastated physically or mentally by this war. Just a thought for the children who have gone without health insurance or the neglected in New Orleans or the unsafe infrastructure that has gone unrepaired or the millions of Iraqi civilians that have been terrorized, become refugees, or killed.
While your life has become a living hell, some fat, old war criminal is having a nice day fishing on a yacht.
