Hypocrisy isn't the province of religion alone. He's the hypocritical embodiment of man's inhumanity to man.

Most of the world's people know that any country has killers, and that a sane leader doesn't use that fact to justify a leadership and governing strategy of killing. Only a criminal dictator would rationalize such systematic murder by conflating his survival and profit with "national security."
