I can muster no sympathy for one who has been the architect and advocate for so much death and destruction. If he had gotten his way, WWIII would be swirling around us. For his daughter's sake, may it end quickly and peacefully.
Miserable old prick, is in for a rough time, looks good on him.
Doesnt matter who you are ir what your political pursuasion, this hate is best served for the child killer on death row , not this man who though being a hawk has been constrained by doves and is actually not responsible for carnage.
Go in peace and with grace old fella.
