I am reading Bill Clinton's book the Early Years and it's amazing going back to the sixties and seventies when he was growing up and the Vietnam War was in progress the similarities between then and now. While at Georgetown he worked for Fullbright who was totally against the war when Bill was a LBJ supporter. He gradually came to see how useless it all was. The Gulf of Ton-kin being drummed up and fictitious just to egg on our zeal for revenge and leading us to not think but act. I also like that Obama is being more thoughtful about what he does and not jumping at the command of the military. Remember MacArthur or were you too young. He was relieved of command because he thought one way and the president thought another. What a hullabaloo that raised in my home when I was growing up. My parents thought it was terrible but of course we were conservative Republicans and the president was sticking his nose into military matters. And I was going to West Point and Annapolis for dances and thinking the military was just the LAST WORD....
