During the Cold War he was instrumental in building up the defense budget by making stuff up about the Soviet economy. He makes money on every bird flu virus sold to the government.

I wrote an email to President Bush telling him we should stop bombing because we would be the ones who must pay to repair all the damage we created. I don't know how many others wrote similar requests, but we all know no one listened. Rumsfeld thinks he is very intelligent, yet it doesn't take someone with much intelligence to know if you topple a government you need to have something else to take its place. Yet all the NGOs with plans for an interim government who wanted to talk to him before the envasion were rejected. When Iraqis ran wild destroying centuries old artifacts, Rumsfield said they were acting out past frustrations and for several days did nothing to stop the anarchy. Of course one reason is because they didn't have an interim government with proper controls in place. I wonder why.
