a musing for an autumn morning

recent events have prompted a question:
is an embarrassing, self-obsessed,
consummate capitalist really less evil
than an ambitious imperialist
with an exceptionally exemplary,
bloodstained resume
who's already rattling Obama's
refurbished nuclear sabers
so convincingly that our
cutthroat gang of unelected regime-changers
have actually written an
'Open Letter to the President'
to signal her that they're chomping at the bit?

and while i'm asking questions,
how does this 'lesser evil' yardstick actually work?
do the perspectives of the next batches
of eternally silenced children
enter into the equation?
i wonder if Madeleine Albright or Henry Kissinger
could shed some light on such
inconsequential consequences,
so "dispensable" and "collateral"
to America's once-and-future-greatness.
