Kurt Waldheim Dies, Was a Nazi Before Becoming U.N. Secretary-General and President of Austria


Wie geht es Ihnen, Herr Waldheim?
Your brilliant career is over. As a lieutenant in army intelligence in the German Army, you helped murder thousands of Yugoslav citizens and deport Greek Jews to death camps.
My father was a U.S. soldier in World War II and fought against you and your compatriots. Many of his fellow servicemen died during the conflict, though somehow you escaped unscathed to flourish as a politician - but of course. Patriotism may be the last refuge of the scoundrel, but in your case politics was the last refuge of the war criminal.
I suspect that, where you are now, you've been reunited with Der Fuhrer and your fellow travelers.
By the way, you may want to touch base with Reverend Falwell. He should be down there somewhere, too.
Auf Wiedersehen.
