Just finished watching "the Fog of War", a documaentary on Robert McNemara, and the role he played in the cold war and vietnam war. He is such a fascinating old man, and at 85 years old, still very astute and "with it". As much as he is responsible for instigating (as well as getting out of serious trouble) I respect the way he holds himself accountable and takes responsibility for his actions.
It's really amazing to see how the decisions of such a few fallable human beings can affect all humanity for years to come, and how the actions of rational men can bring the world to the brink of destruction.
I'm frightened.
