The cruel and demented occupant of the (Mar-a-Lago) White House has threatened Iran with bombing so great they’ll be blasted back to the Stone Age. He stole that line. Of course he did—he’s a ripoff artist masquerading as a leader.

Here’s General Curtis LeMay on North Vietnam:

In his 1968 memoir he suggested that rather than negotiating with Hanoi, the United States should “bomb them back to the stone age,” by taking out factories, harbors, and bridges “until we have destroyed every work of man in North Vietnam.”

LeMay was the architect of the civilian-targeted firebombing campaign against Japanese cities in WWII. Those raids killed more people and did more damage than both atomic bombs. The United States has been killing civilians and destroying non-military targets for decades.

People don’t like being bombed. It’s a poor basis for negotiating. Eventually we will run out of bombs or we’ll run out of targets or both. We’ll be a poorer nation as a result, financially and morally. And Iran will be criminally and savagely bloodied, all toward some mythical strategic end that no one can articulate. All that destruction and suffering with only the barest attempt at justification will not make the world a better place. Both countries are going to lose this war.

I note that Trump’s threat was an Easter message.

Here’s an Easter message for you, it’s from Matthew, chapter 5, verse 9:

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

I’m willing to bet that Orange Clown has never read a book. And for certain he’s never cracked a Bible.
