I wonder which side you were on during this century's titanic struggle between the forces of slavery and freedom.

I wonder how you'd feel about this struggle if you'd seen it from one of the countries in which it was actually fought, particularly in one of the ones where the defenders of freedom were manipulated into subsidizing tyranny.

I did, and the lines don't seem quite as clear as they might have from an American vantage point.

I've no doubt that we were "right", in the abstract. But I think a lot of the methods were way wrong, that the evidence that they were wrong was easily available, and that the evidence was ignored for reasons that were stupid at best, self-serving at worst.

Our continued denial of the human cost of these errors is a bit of a disgrace, IMO.
