Reciprocation

Just so I get this straight: One man lies, dissembles, cheats, connives and conspires to mislead his country into war. Nevermind the military targets, this war costs the lives of tens of thousands of civilians in that country. For his service, he will be given a “pension” of right about a million dollars of taxpayer money a year.

Another man, a citizen of the beaten and invaded country, beset with sorrow for “the widows, the orphans and those who were killed,” takes off his shoes and throws them, one by one, at the warmonger. Doesn’t even fucking hit him. Misses by a meter. For this he is given three years in prison. Paid for, of course, by his own war-ravaged country.

Did I get that right? Just checkin’.
