Yea.

Hi Gordon,

I believe you (and him)!

I agree there was a lot of war profiteering going on, and also a lot of corruption...

Many people undoubtedly would have loved it to go on forever...

I also agree with him that it's not the American people's fault (I also read an article with that argument). I think it is now very clear there were a lot of lies... and without a doubt, many have gotten richer from the war through deceptive means...

I didn't know that about LBJ, by the way!

Best wishes,

Dien

LBJ has had as many bios as anyone, the best are from Caro, and there are some amazing things in this man's life.

NO one was a more crafty, shrewd, conniving politico than he was.

And we are STILL paying the price for some of his shenanigans.
