Rumsfeld dies cheating Scales of Justice
Donald Rumsfeld died peaceably at his home in Taos, NM at 88, surrounded by his four generation family and his $200 million fortune.
Former Secretary of Defense twice, 1975 -77, and more importantly, 2001-06, Rumsfeld was arguably the most vociferous voice in demanding immoral, illegal and criminal war against Iraq in March, 2003.
To get his war Rumsfeld lied forcefully and repeatedly that it was justified, was going well, would cost little, make America safer and the world better.
He was dead wrong on every lie.
Speaking of dead, they number in the hundreds of thousands, including 4,497 U.S. military, 1,487 civilian American contractors and 348 journalists.
In a just world, Rumsfeld, along with his fellow criminal war conspirators, President George W. Bush, VP Dick Cheney and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, would all have been brought up on war crime charges by the International Criminal Court. But the world is not just. The U.S. is so strong, so powerful, it sanctions even the International Criminal Court to keep from the reach of justice.
The U.S. should take a page from South Africa and form a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to both validate the Iraq war lies and publicly shame those leaders who brought on the needless death and societal destruction in Iraq from American perfidy. South Africa did that in 1995 to smooth the transition from Apartheid to a true democracy there. It worked for South Africa. It can work for the United States.
We know the wrong Rumsfeld and his conspirators did. But till the U.S. officially inquires and reports on the murder and mayhem they inflicted on Iraq; indeed the whole world, they can, like Donald Rumsfeld, enter the Beyond pretending they were patriots.
