Kill People To End Their Suffering?

Does anyone besides me think this is creepy?

No, not the President playing with matches and wearing a yarmulke. What he said:

US President George W. Bush rekindles the eternal flame commemorating the six million Jews killed by the Nazis in the Holocaust, in the Hall of Remembrance in the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem, Friday, Jan. 11, 2008. President Bush had tears in his eyes during an hour-long tour of Israel's Holocaust memorial Friday and told Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the U.S. should have bombed Auschwitz to halt the killing, the memorial's chairman said.

The U.S. knew prisoners were suffering in Auschwitz so "We should have bombed it," Bush said, according to Memorial Chairman Shalev.

The Press is just reporting this with a straight face. Nothing strange here, they say. If someone is suffering in the world, the President says we should bomb them. Just a normal news day.

Obviously it was the suffering of the Iraqi people that caused George to launch Shock and Awe bombing. And it was their continued suffering that forced him to invade.

I hear the President has authorized torture of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. Last month, a UN investigator said he strongly suspected the Central Intelligence Agency of using torture on prisoners at Guantanamo, adding that many prisoners were likely not being prosecuted to keep the abuse from emerging at trial. So maybe the best way to end that suffering is to take the President’s advice and bomb Guantanamo Bay. That removes the risk of actual trials too.

Thank you Main Stream Media for reporting the President’s preferred method of relieving suffering. But talk about drowning the baby just so you can throw out the bath water. Shouldn’t the news reports at least have a hint of WHAT THE FUCK? I thought Conservative Republicans were against assisted suicide. So how is bombing a prison camp a rational way to preserve the prisoners’ right to life?

And just so this is very clear: George W. Bush, I feel fine. I am not suffering. I do not need any help. I have no misery of which I need to be put out of.
