Disturbing :

the rejoicing
at the death of Odysseus-Loki
bin Laden.
I don't remember
cheering crowds in New York
when Stalin died:
he killed at least
ten million Soviet citizens
and starved ten million more.

Chairman Mao 'liquidated'
more than ten million Chinese.
Pol-Pot, Mobutu, Papa Doc
and others did away with
impressive numbers, too -

few of them American.

And since Iraq was raped
several hundred thousand
lives were snuffed -

few of them American...
