Dick Cheney: West's 'Most Terrifying and Repulsive' Politician

And these are our allies?

Sometimes I ask myself: Who do I think is the most terrifying and repulsive of all of the politicians in the world? There is no real surprise when looking for the No. 1 candidate in the undeveloped world, which is replete with candidates who make one shudder. We can immediately agree on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - a roaring lion that perhaps is actually a mouse. Who is not frightened and repulsed by him? And he is only one example of dangerous and reckless politicians.

But what about an example from the developed world, the free world, the world that runs the world, perhaps an American example, because each generation comes to resemble its largest guides. And it is not only the face of the generation, but also its fate, our fate. No one is expecting inspiration from a Persian punk at the gate of Tehran, but many people on the planet, hundreds of millions, still expect some moral direction from those sitting on high in Washington.

Without deliberating much, the choice goes to the vice president of the United States, Dick Cheney: He is the terrifying and repulsive one whom fate has chosen. He scares me because he is the person who instigated the war in Iraq, which now allows Ahmadinejad, and not only him, to go crazy without shame. Iran observes what is happening in neighboring Iraq and rubs its hands in glee at the sight of the world's strongest army, which is losing its deterrent power.

1. This article

is absolutely true. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Kim Jong Il, the madman from North Korea, is less harmful than Dick Cheney.

How could I say such a thing?

Answer = reach. While Kim is a brutal dictator and he has probably killed thousands of his own people, he really doesn't have any influence outside his borders.

CHENEY on the other hand, has his reach all over the world. When he gives the word, hundreds of thousands in Iraq die. If he wants, the US can drop nuclear bombs on top of Iran and millions will die.
