Trujillo murdered 100,s",Thousands, Who knows?
But the numbers pale when you compare them with the ten's of thousands killed after his murder, by common criminals, drug cartels, and other "Undesirables".
When I first came here in 1986, Doctor Balaguer was Top Dog.
No one here would dream of harming, let along killing a "Tourista", or "Expat" resident!
They would be "GONE" in days if they did, so they DIDN'T!
"Responsibility" was not choosen, it was "ENFORCED"!!!
I walked the darkest streets at 3 am, "No Problema"!
US President Harry S. Truman, ordered two nuclear bombs dropped on Japanese cities, killing over 100,000 then, and more over many years from the radiation.
"Terrible"!
Or was it?
It ENDED World War Two!
If the allies had invaded the Japanese homeland, estimates are over 1 million Japanese civilians killed!
Sacrifice 100,000 to "save" a Million???
The former Soviet Union held dozens of countries, and their citizens in their "IRON FIST"!
Countries that for various reasons, some a thousand years old,hated each other, and would have made war on each other, DIDN'T because "Russia" would not allow that to happen!
The Fall of the Soviet Union, allowed for the rise of Nationalism, and wars.
Can you spell "Ethnic Cleansing"???
So "shove" your "PC" platitudes,just ask the families of those killed by ethnic cleansing, if they would rather be DEAD, or "RED"!
I mourn the deaths of those who die for any reason!
Some of them, "Not-So-Much", but I have empathy with their family and friends who will miss them.
Sometimes, you have to do "Bad Things" to have "Good Results"!
