I think everyone needs to read Evan's book---fat chance, I know, but it would be a good start. Maybe they could manage Ann's book Treason. It's pretty good and entertaining.

You know it strikes me that Truman/Acheson/Marshall policies did to Chiang Kai Chek what the Democrat policies during the 70's did to the South Vietnamese Army, starve them of supplies and ammunition. What makes Americans think that Iraq and Afghanistan would wind up any different?

Bingo. “History may not repeat, but it sure does rhyme.”

Sometimes, I look at current reporting and transpose it to an earlier time. Imagine the pressure on Bush, Ashcroft, Libby, Cheney, and others, if there were no Internet and talk radio to set the record straight.
