GOP Senator Lindsey Graham said this week that “a war (with North Korea) would be worth it.” This is a war that has been forecast to result in catastrophic casualties of between 20,000 and 100,000 South Korean deaths PER DAY and untold numbers of North Korean deaths. And if North Korea launches nuclear weapons at Japan and/or the U.S., the worldwide deaths would surely be in the millions.
As Obama’s National Security Council spokesman responded, Graham has “lost his god damn mind.”
It is completely and unforgivably irresponsible to provide this kind of encouragement to an impulsive, irrational President who feels threatened by his own criminal activities coming home to roost.
Responsible people in both parties who care about humanity must raise their voices to refute this reckless, dangerous statement.
