    @ Canuckistan Bob

    "And finally, if he is indeed fully guilty of conning young adult but naive women into being exploited and abused, I agree that that is wrong and evil; but compared to torture, to years of solitary confinement of teenagers, to assassinations, to mass killings, to support of vile dictators, well, I feel fairly comfortable judging his crimes as significantly lesser than those of the Bush Administration."

    I have no idea who said this, but it's always stuck- "If you kill one man you're a murderer, if you kill thousands of men you're a king, if you kill them all then you're a god."

    leaders can be dangerous.
