Saw "The Fog of War" Sunday afternoon before the Super Bowl (should have gone during the Super Bowl, for the garbage that was - the game was good, anyway). I am old enough to remember McNamara and the justifications for Vietnam. Please see this movie. It is chilling in showing the hubris of those who simply do not understand history and other cultures. Confirmed my opinion that this imperialistic war in Iraq is more immoral than was Vietnam. McNamara's justifications don't wash (read "The Past Has Another Pattern" by George Ball; a brilliant book by a real statesman). The finest two hours I have spent in a theater in years. Important, and thoroughly engrossing.
