Plus, he's a mass murderer.  A million Iraqis, half of them children, 
died as a result of the embargo on the Iraqi civilian economy that was 
initiated by Bush I and maintained throughout the Bush/Gore tenure.  His 
Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, when questioned in particular 
about the deaths of children, said, "We think the price is worth it."

If we tolerate and speak well of mass murderers, we will continue to 
have mass murderers as leaders.  I think the use of mass murder as an 
instrument of national policy is completely antithetical to the 
permaculture ethics.
