    Wm Manchester knows how to write.

    If only Truman Kennedy/Johnson had heeded MacArthur's advice. We can put the Bush's in with that too.

    We need to resurrect the "American Caesar," Patton, and Sherman and turn them loose in Iraq and Afghanistan. America would win. It would be over tomorrow, and we would have no trouble in the future, not from nations or from terrorists--"nuff"saud.
