IS MCCAIN A MAD BOMBER?




I have a certain amount of skepticism about people who make bombing others a crucial part of their life work. Of course, McCain claims he served his country by bombing Vietnam back when he was captured by the Vietnamese. It was something of a forshadowing because the Vietnamese ultimately captured their own country. How McCain's bombing of Vietnam served me or my fellow Americans is something that has been explained only by lies. McCain, still ignorantly, clings to those lies.

McCain is one of those Americans who all to easily wants to bomb other countries and engages in all sorts of warfare. He joked about bombing Iran a number of years ago singing "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran to the melody of "Ba Ba Barrant". This man is bomb crazy and I suggest that this is not a characteristic we need in our world or national leaders.

No doubt McCain suffered as a prisoner. I admire his persistence and resilience but bombing people is still a bad thing. Just imagine, if he had been a suicide bomber. Of course he wouldn't be a professional politician in that case. Could we say we respect his work as a suicide bomber? I ask you? I can't endorse the double standard that praises bombing by air versus bombing via other means. Both things seem highly immoral and wrong to me.
