If you’re looking for a sardonic laugh, read this dead-serious NYT column about the “compassionate” Robert Strange McNamara.
No, there was no “compassion” behind trying to “save” Southeast Asia from the domino effect, Mr. Philip Bobbitt, because the domino effect wasn’t true (which the U.S. could and should have known), and we could have made better salvation efforts through peaceful means anyway.
Of course, Bobbit, being LBJ’s nephew, ultimately isn’t interested in McNamara’s reputation; he’s turd-polishing for his uncle.
