Today's Exactly100: Demagogues and Dictators

Evil men, despots, demagogues have always been with us: From Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot to today’s Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu and his colonist-racist terror government.

Lacking empathy and a moral compass, these men ravage, destroy and slaughter men, women and children by the thousands in a cooked-up war against perceived enemies.

Ernest Hemingway describes them as “demagogues and dictators who play on the patriotism of their people to mislead them into a belief in the great fallacy of war when all their vaunted reforms have failed to satisfy the people they misrule.”

They’re in your face today as before. /mdm
