Film by Errol Morris about Robert MacNamara.

1. I second the recommendation

One of the architects of the Vietnam War comes clean.

2. i third that doc, a must see

i was torn between wanting to kick his ass and wanting to hug him.

[American Tragedy]

3. Fascinating film with a vital perspective. Too bad I don't get Starz!

Any history buff or political junkie who hasn't watched this is seriously cheating themselves.

4. I have the DVD -- the scenes not used are also very interesting

And today I was thinking about this film and began to wonder if President Kennedy was taken out by the powerful who wanted a war in Vietnam. McNamara insisted that Kennedy was going to remove the US Military advisers -- but was killed before he could do this.

Johnson was very much for the Vietnam War in the beginning -- but as it progressed he seemed to have buyer's remorse.

There is still so much we don't know about that era -- who really murdered Kennedy -- and why? (motive)

Just like the cover ups and lies about 9/11 -- for sure the bush gang has something to hide. We know that bush was looking for a reason to invade Iraq long before 9/11.

Who is the wizard of Oz?

5. i'm convinced the wizard is the military industrial complex

the wizard is a composite of a few select very wealthy american families.

6. I'm not so sure they are American families. N/t

7. Now that's an interesting theory.
