Former vice-President Dick Cheney is having heart problems, again. Are you going to hope for his recovery or be thankful that the world will be a safer place without him.

The vice president has a long history with heart disease but a longer history of secret deals that help his friends and undermine democracy, He started his current career phase as H.W. Bush’s vice-President and in the first months in office had secret meetings with oil executives likely dividing up the earth’s resources. We can’t know because even the attending list was and is secret.

Secret operations became his style and he became known as Bush’s Brain. It is likely that he is directly responsible for the bombing and occupation of Afghanistan, and manipulating intelligence to insure that we occupied Iraq. Those are just some of his “accomplishments”. It may be years before we find other atrocities for which he is responsible.

I believe that the world would have been a much safer and probably cleaner world if Cheney was never born. It will be safe when his influence completely disappears.
