“As Western nations became more prosperous, leisure, which had been put off for several centuries in favor of the pursuit of property, the means to leisure, finally began to be of primary concern.

“America has shown we are serious about removing the threat of weapons of mass destruction... We now know that Saddam Hussein had the capacity to produce weapons of mass destruction.... We know he had the necessary infrastructure because we found the labs and the dual-use facilities that could be used for these chemical and biological agents. We know that he was developing the delivery systems - ballistic missiles - that had been prohibited by the United Nations.” KnowsUseAmericaUsedFoundNationsUnitedProduceSeriousWeaponsMassCapacityDestructionThreatAgentsDevelopingChemicalsSaddamUnited NationsInfrastructureHusseinFacilityMissilesWeapons Of Mass DestructionMass DestructionDeliveryLabs Author:Dick Cheney
“How do we explain for example the Ebola epidemic in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea Conakry? Those very powers that swindled and occupied them, in the face of the serious situation of social emergency, have not even had the capacity to send doctors there. In some cases they have sent in militaries instead because that is what they are compelled to do. They have had to send military to do it because they do not even have any doctors with the willingness to risk their lives in order to help those people that are precisely paying for the consequences of years of colonization.” PeopleYearsHelpingFacesOrderSocialSituationCasesRiskMilitaryExampleSeriousConsequenceCapacityDoctorsWillingnessCompelledEmergenciesEpidemicsColonizationGuineaSierraEbolaSierra Leone Author:Alejandro Castro Espin
