I’m con­vinced that Evil is inher­ent in some peo­ple no mat­ter what sit­u­a­tion they go through there is no epiphany, no “wow I’ve gone through some things and God has been good to me” or since some are loathe to acknowl­edge God , then maybe”  wow I’ve been lucky, let me change some things about myself”.
Take Dick Cheney for instance. Here’s a guy many in oth­er coun­tries and indeed right here in America believe is a darn war crim­i­nal who should be tried in the Hague for war crimes.
Cheney cre­at­ed and nur­tured intel­li­gence to sup­port war on a sov­er­eign nation. Reports indi­cate Cheney manip­u­lat­ed the Intelligence Agencies to man­u­fac­ture intel­li­gence in sup­port of the Political right’s ille­git­i­mate war with Iraq.
The Iraq war led to the death of Saddam Hussein and his sons . Hundreds of thou­sands of inno­cent Iraqis and the death and maim­ing of thou­sands of American sol­diers. It result­ed in the cre­ation of the group which now calls itself ISIL. The fall­out from the Iraq inva­sion has been con­se­quen­tial and so far reach­ing no sane per­son should keep qui­et about its con­se­quence on our world.

I must first say That I am per­son­al­ly offend­ed that the likes of Dick Cheney and the White Fundamentalists fringe of the Political right assume to have author­i­ty over this plan­et every­one else.
What both­ers me is that this piece of crap is func­tion­ing with a heart belong­ing to some­one else that could eas­i­ly have been giv­en to some­one more deserving.
As Salon​.com Joan Walsh wrote :
In an inter­view giv­en by Cheney to Larry King on CNN . Cheney said..

When I came out from under the anes­thet­ic after the trans­plant, I was euphor­ic. I’d had – I’d been giv­en the gift of addi­tion­al lives, addi­tion­al years of life. For the fam­i­ly of the donor, they’d just been [through] some ter­ri­ble tragedy, they’d lost a fam­i­ly mem­ber. Can’t tell why, obvi­ous­ly, when you don’t know the details, but the way I think of it from a psy­cho­log­i­cal stand­point is that it’s my new heart, not some­one else’s old heart. And I always thank the donor, gener­i­cal­ly thank donors for the gift that I’ve been giv­en, but I don’t spend time won­der­ing who had it, what they’d done, what kind of per­son. “It’s my new heart, not some­one else’s old heart.”

Consider the com­plete self-cen­tered­ness of that state­ment, and the utter lack of empa­thy. I shouldn’t be sur­prised at that — war crim­i­nals and tor­ture-pro­mot­ers aren’t known for their empa­thy — but I was. Cheney’s so absorbed in his great good luck that he can’t help shar­ing: “My car­di­ol­o­gist told me at one point, ‘You know, Dick, the trans­plant is a spir­i­tu­al expe­ri­ence, not just for the patient, but also for the team.’” What a gen­er­ous guy, shar­ing that “spir­i­tu­al expe­ri­ence” with his car­di­ol­o­gy team! So: Cheney is hap­py to have a new heart, but doesn’t both­er to “spend time won­der­ing who had it, what they’d done, what kind of per­son.” And his state­ment that it wasn’t a “pri­or­i­ty” to learn about his heart donor reveal­ing­ly echoes his expla­na­tion for get­ting five defer­ments from the Vietnam War: The noto­ri­ous war hawk famous­ly told the Washington Post: “I had oth­er pri­or­i­ties in the ’60s than mil­i­tary ser­vice.” Now he has oth­er pri­or­i­ties than learn­ing about his heart donor. It’s cer­tain­ly not com­pul­so­ry to find out about the per­son who died so that you could live – who gave what Cheney called “the gift of life itself.” There may be valid psy­cho­log­i­cal rea­sons not to. I don’t judge that deci­sion. But I can’t get over the cold­ness required to express com­plete indif­fer­ence to know­ing about that per­son, and their family’s suf­fer­ing. Or could it be com­pas­sion? For a lot of peo­ple, the tragedy of a fam­i­ly mem­ber dying would be com­pound­ed, not less­ened, by learn­ing that their heart went to Cheney. Nah, there’s nei­ther com­pas­sion nor self-aware­ness in the way Cheney talks about receiv­ing “the gift of life,” from American tax­pay­ers or from his mys­tery heart donor.

The draft dodg­ing war crim­i­nal Dick Cheney is back as he does every elec­tion cycle, like a peren­ni­al gar­den plant but a lot more sin­is­ter and dan­ger­ous donat­ed heart and all. One would have thought that a and giv­en a sec­ond chance at life would be far more ret­ro­spec­tive and philo­soph­i­cal. But if he does­n’t care about where or whom he received the new heart from how can any­one expect this demon to have a change of heart[pun]?

As the Vice President to President George Bush who select­ed him­self after he was giv­en the task of search­ing for a pos­si­ble vice pres­i­den­tial run­ning mate for then can­di­date Bush Dick Cheney has not fol­lowed his Boss’s lead in stay­ing out of the fray after eight years in office. Instead he has used every oppor­tu­ni­ty to attack President Obama’s lead­er­ship on every­thing from the Economy to Foreign Policy , both areas in which his and his boss’s lead­er­ship has cre­at­ed unman­age­able con­se­quences for America and the entire world.

Of all the things Dick Cheney said noth­ing both­ered me more than this statement.….
President Barack Obama’s goal in the Iran nuclear deal appears to have been to make Iran the top pow­er in the Middle East, for­mer Vice President Dick Cheney told Newsmax TV.  “The only way to inter­pret it and what his motives were was he real­ly want­ed to boost Iran’s posi­tion in that part of the world and make them the dom­i­nant force at the expense of our allies,”.
This is as far as Cheney will go and fur­ther in his inces­sant attack on President Obama. It has­n’t been the first time the war crim­i­nal Cheney has ques­tioned the President’s moti­va­tions and loyalty.
Barack Obama has no inten­tion of drag­ging America back into anoth­er war in the mid­dle east as Bush Cheney and the neo-cons did which result­ed in a frac­tured Iraq , and Syria and the cre­ation of ISIL which is caus­ing cat­a­stroph­ic refugee crises as we speak.
Notwithstanding the for­mer vice pres­i­dent who made America a tor­ture state is still press­ing for war against Iran a much more pow­er­ful nation than Iraq , a war which would essen­tial­ly mean the sec­ond world war because of the com­plex entan­gle­ments in the region .
Of course a war between America and Iranwould sig­nif­i­cant­ly ben­e­fit Halliburton and Cheney s the war between America and Iraq did. The web­site http://​read​er​sup​port​ed​news​.org/ report­ed that after a decade of war The com­pa­ny was giv­en $39.5 bil­lion in Iraq-relat­ed con­tracts over the past decade, with many of the deals giv­en with­out any bid­ding from com­pet­ing firms, such as a $568-mil­lion con­tract renew­al in 2010 to pro­vide hous­ing, meals, water and bath­room ser­vices to sol­diers, a deal that led to a Justice Department law­suit over alleged kick­backs, as report­ed by Bloomberg.

There’s a great YouTube of Dick Cheney in 1995 defend­ing [President] Bush No. 1 [and the deci­sion not to invade Baghdad in the first Gulf War], and he goes on for about five min­utes. He’s being inter­viewed, I think, by the American Enterprise Institute, and he says it would be a dis­as­ter, it would be vast­ly expen­sive, it’d be civ­il war, we would have no exit strat­e­gy. He goes on and on for five min­utes. Dick Cheney say­ing it would be a bad idea. And that’s why the first Bush did­n’t go into Baghdad. Dick Cheney then goes to work for Halliburton. Makes hun­dreds of mil­lions of dol­lars, their CEO. Next thing you know, he’s back in gov­ern­ment and it’s a good idea to go into Iraq.

Paul con­tin­ued:

The day after 911, [CIA chief] George Tenet is going in the [White] House and [Pentagon advis­er] Richard Perle is com­ing out of the White House. And George Tenet should know more about intel­li­gence than any­body in the world, and the first thing Richard Perle says to him on the way out is, “We’ve got it, now we can go into Iraq.” And George Tenet, who sup­pos­ed­ly knows as much intel­li­gence as any­body in the White House says, “Well, don’t we need to know that they have some con­nec­tion to 911?” And, he [Perle] says, “It does­n’t mat­ter.” It became an excuse. 911 became an excuse for a war they already want­ed in Iraq.
