Too late

Whenever someone claims I was just as blind to Bill Clinton's faults as they want to be to Duhbya's lack of virtues, I can answer with one word, "Rwanda." He was a President who refused to call obvious genocide by its name, lest he then be obligated to do something about it, obligated morally and by the UN Charter, to which the U.S. is a signatory confirmed by the Senate. Now, we have a President who refuses to call obvious torture what it is.

There is a small difference in favor of each: Clinton did not order the genocide, where Duhbya ordered the torture. But the genocide did kill half a million people, while torture has killed at most a few dozen.

I wonder, will Duhbya repent after he has pardoned all those who executed his unlawful orders?
