Book Reviews of The President of Good & Evil: Questioning the Ethics of George W. Bush
Book Review: THIS BOOK DOES TOO MUCH WRONG
Summary: 1 Stars
It is obvious the author is trying to put Bush down even though he claims to be being fair to both sides. One way this book is unfair is Saddam's genocide attempts on the Kurds (whom Saddam killed over 180,000 in just one year many more were killed other years plus Saddam got about a million people killed in a war with Iran he mostly started and Saddam killed many tens of thousands of non-Kurdish Iraqis internally in Iraq). Singer mentions Saddam's genocide attempts but gives no incredibly high but true figures on just what a genocide attempt, the untrained
reader is left to guess how many people Saddam killed. But when the author puts Bush down and talks of another mass murdering spree (this one going on in Africa) and Bush not stopping it the death toll murders of this holocaust get quoted (600,000).
This author mostly complains about how the US did not stop Saddam sooner. He fails to understand (or admit)
that the US military was totally and then semi-paralyzed by the powerful pacifist movement of the late60's/early70's. It was not until 30 years after the Vietnam pullout that the uS was finally able to take total military action like the current occupation of Iraq.
