...not to mention Vietnam, etc...but the quote is taken from former Sec. of Defense (Kennedy, Johnson) Robert McNamara's brilliant documentary, 'The Fog of War.'
He goes on to cry when talking about Curtis Lemay and the firebombing of Tokyo...100,000 Japanese killed in one night and one American wingman lost...and then the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after...
Has America been a disaster as a global empire re: its foreign policy. Is this why there is so much hatred of the US in the rest of the developing world?
Remember, the quote is from McNamara, who lived the cold war for almost 10 years....and a helluva better Sec of Defense than Rumsfeld ever made.
