It was a bad year and I am glad he made it.

Bad year?

I like to call it a "conflict of conscience" ~ we have become so desperate for peace that we are willing to do anything just to make the pain stop. That includes appeasement, bribes you name it.

What we should be doing and what we should have done from the very beginning is to exterminate these reprobates with extreme prejudice using the most powerful weapons in our arsenal.
