Okay, no bastards
Okay, I realize that most of you aren't liberal bastards. Maybe none of you. I was just trying to be provocative and my wife (Deborah the Snake) chastised me and made me apologize. I stand by the rest of the post though. I forgot she gets these messages.
She is much more civilized than me.
I hope you're satisfied I was called out.

“logical, reasonable regime, such as Johnson and McNamara dreamed they were dealing with, would certainly have considered negotiating an end to the war and the horrific burden on its people. But the Communists were neither reasonable nor logical, which is why a strategy of attrition and graduated escalations to encourage negotiations was utterly misbegotten. The Communists were fanatic believers in the justness of their cause and the inevitability of their triumph—and the anti-war movement in the West encouraged their sense of inevitable victory.”

“Nixon’s view was that the operation was soundly based in International Law, specifically the Hague Convention of 1907: “A neutral country has the obligation not to allow its territory to be used by a belligerent. If the neutral country is unwilling or unable to prevent this, the other belligerent has the right to take appropriate counteraction.”22”

“While evil can never be banished from the human heart and mistakes can never be banished from human behavior, such outrages were rare on the American side. They were not rare—they were policy—on the Communist side. Ignoring that fact only highlights the ignorance and bias of the anti-war movement.”

Congrats on the appearance in The Wall Street Journal. I saw it and was like, "I know that guy! (kind of)."
Thanks for adding me as a friend. Sorry for the delay in confirming - hadn't been on Goodreads for a while.
