Rommel did what he felt he had to do. I agree with it, but that was a different time.
I'm really surprised at your reaction. O'Malley's been in office three days, and you expect a man who's never been fire-and-brimstone to suddenly turn fire-and-brimstone.
O'Malley and I are in the same zip code, age-wise. Perhaps when you mellow, you'll gain the perspective he has.
