Mao: Similar, but fewer numbers are available.

Add Pol Pot, Vietnam, Romania, Yugoslavia, Cuba, Angola, and East Germany and East Europe (though still far fewer).... Add ALL the current Muslim wars - since the FIRST terrorist camps (the beginnings of the re-fueled hatred against the West and Israel) were the KGB-funded anti-Isreal camps in Libya, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Lebanon.

While I don't like to engage in this sort of relativism, I think it's hard to understate the numbers killed, directly and indirectly, by communists.

That said, whether red, brown or green, a pox on all their houses as far as I'm concerned.

As a former altar boy, this apologia for the Catholic Church by an avowed atheist is amazing.

While I posted it primarily because I found the culpibility of the greens (due to DDT bans) to be fascinating, I did think that it favorably presented the Catholic Church....a church of which I am not a part.

Nor did I know that Kenney was an atheist. That is fascinating. I sounds like a total capitulation, then, in that old saw that "more have been killed in the name of God...blah, blah, blah....)

Thanks.
