That's very good. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, especially
those who are at all ideological---whether of the left or the
right---take a good hard look at all these numbers, and
understand well two things:
ONE: Atrocities are not merely confined to one's political
adversaries or their allies
TWO: It's still going on, and our voices must be added to
those who are in advance of us, and who are already
demanding that it stop.
