The Nixon era was a very strange time. Foreign policy was out the door and Kissinger assembled a coherent policy from a large set of small parts. Any mis-step could have resulted in the end of the world.
When looking back at giants it no surprise pygmies wish to reduce those giants’ stature.
The WOT is a problem, but compared to the Cold War it is an annoyance (not that 3K is a small issue — but we humans could have destroyed the entire planet)
Nixon on his tapes never came out favorably in his views towards the Jews I don’t think.
But he did support them publicly and with lots of foreign aid. A friend of mine (Airborne) was sitting on a plane waiting to take off to Israel in 1967(?). IIRC he said something like “I’m glad those Israeli’s ended it on the 7th day - ‘cuz we would have dropped in on the 8th.”
well put, VERY well put.
