Regarding “the Prez dispenser” editorial cartoon on Page A10 in Saturday’s paper, I understand the point the cartoon is making — that Trump seems to equate body count as points in the game, showing how tough he is.

Opinion

Regarding “the Prez dispenser” editorial cartoon on Page A10 in Saturday’s paper, I understand the point the cartoon is making — that Trump seems to equate body count as points in the game, showing how tough he is.

However, I think the cartoon has another, and for me, unacceptable inference.

That is that 40 some American bodies are more important than the roughly 2,000 Iranian bodies.

No American life is worth 50 Iranian lives; particularly the children.

Destruction and loss of life is not leadership, it is incompetence.
