Remigration

The Meaning of Life to Our Chieftains

According to new information Richard Nixon undermined Lyndon Johnson’s attempts to initiate peace negotiations with the North Vietnamese in order to improve his chances of winning the 1968 presidential election.

Just to be fair, Kennedy initiated the war, Johnson escalated it but Nixon prolonged it.

Ronald Reagan is reputed to have encouraged the Iranians to delay releasing the American- Embassy hostages in order to improve his chances of defeating Jimmy Carter in 1980. The hostages were released twenty minutes after Reagan’s inaugural address.

Question: What does human life mean to those aspiring to gain power or to retain it?
