Dubya vs Seung-Hui Cho: Who's The Greater Menace?

Barry Lando: Whyare we so repelled by the videod rantings of the young South Korean psycopath, yet not equally shocked by the outrageous utterances of America's President?

Officials in Virginia are taking heavy flak for their failure to act on early warnings that South Korean Seung-Hui Cho, who massacred 32 students and teachers at Virginia Tech, was a seriously disturbed menace to his community

How then to judge the United States Congress which continues to ignore overwhelming evidence that George W. Bush is an infinitely greater threat to his countrymen; indeed to the entire globe.

Wait, you say, how can you compare the august President of the United States with a dangerously deranged 23 year old South Korean?

You can if you consider the relative menace that each of them poses. Acting by himself, and armed with only a couple of pistols, Seung-Hui Cho managed to kill 32 people. Dubya, on the other hand, commands the most fearful military apparatus the globe has ever known—not to mention a vast intelligence network with thousands of specialized agents ready to do his clandestine bidding in any corner of the globe, from Iran to Somalia to Malaysia.
