Horrible people.

Editor,

Madmen. Predators with a decidedly higher opinion of themselves than they are entitled to lust after power, are preoccupied with dominating others, and assume that terror is the path to heaven on Earth.

If you read books like "The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government" or "Kissinger's Shadow: The Long Reach of America's Most Controversial Statesman," you realize that the horrors that the USA has inflicted since 1945 on people living on this planet are the doing literally of a handful of crazed maniacs.

Humanity does not have to allow these monsters to walk among us. They are not formidable physical specimens and can easily be arrested and put in prison where they belong.

War is exactly the opposite of what humanity needs to be doing. It is a pity that so many millions of low-information, easily manipulable individuals do the dirty work of these horrible people.
