Cartoons from GI Papers published in April - Nixon

I am reproducing these cartoons so the readers can get a fuller idea of the concerns and interests of the GI movement. If you own the copyright on any of these and want them removed, contact me at james_lewes@yahoo.com. If the content of the cartoons offends you, I hall not apologize. The man was a fucking war criminal and his name should adorn federal prisons, not a private presidential library. If you personally believe that the claims Nixon was a war criminal are the product of a typical liberal/leftist politically correct blogger, may I please remind you that had Nixon not encouraged the coup against Prince Sihanouk, put Lon Nol in power, the Khmer Rouge would never have seized power in Cambodia and 2,000,000 people would have not been slaughtered in their death camps. 
If Nixon and Kissinger had respected the democratic rights of the Chilean people, and not encouraged the military, under Pinochet, to rise up and seize power the 30 years of human rights abuses that followed would never have taken place. 
I am sophisticated enough to realize that Nixon is not personally responsible for these deaths, but neither were the Nazis tried at Nuremberg. What they were, and what Nixon was, responsible for was creating the conditions where subordinates carried out their orders.
I respect your right to your opinion, but if you object to my "mischaracterization" of Nixon, I only have two things to say, go fuck yourselves and read a decent history book. Thanks
James
