Self Centered War You say we must have war. You say of course we will have civilian casualties. That is the price of war. I have no fear, I am your leader, and I have a safe place to hide. My people, I will survive. Listen to me my people. That nation is against you, they are the cause of your pain and deepening anguish. They are a rich nation while you live in poverty. We must go to war and fight this nation of the rich. My people I’m sorry I cannot give you a gas mask to wear. It will cost this government too much, cover your mouth with a cloth. But, do not worry I will survive, I have a place hidden far away in another country, so please do not worry. My silver and gold are in banks of another country, my bunker has great amounts of water and foodstuffs. Oh! Yes! I sleep well at night because I know I am safe from the fear of dying. I have no fear from this war I do condone and prescribe to you my loving people. So come my people raise your swords high so you may die and know deep within your heart that I will survive.
