"McNamara saw the destructive power of key policy mistake, and the even more costly effects of escalation of commitment to a bad decision. He has the deaths of millions of people on his conscience."

From which we could expect either wisdom or contamination of the soul to propagate, not likely both. I suspect Mac is suffering.

It is, as McNamara said, the mistake of acting unilaterally that set us up for failure

Even if we assume for the sake of argument that it is or will be a failure, your neglecting the fact that we didn't act unilaterally and your neglecting to provide any argument that involvement of the UN or any other international organization would be a panacea.
