The JFK and LBJ architect of the Vietnam War died this week at the age of 93. His obit in The Record notes that he did not believe bombing of the north would work but went along with it anyway to prove that it didn't work. He felt this way in 1967, the year I was drafted, but kept on lying to the public about the success of the bombing campaign. At least he finally admitted he was "terribly wrong" about the US involvement in the war, albeit too late to do any good. At least he admitted his mistake. I wonder if Dick Cheney will ever admit his mistake in taking us to war against Iraq in 2003? My guess; no chance.
