Glad to hear he did SOME things right.

One way to judge a person is to look at who his enemies are and how vociferous they are.

Applying this standard to Nixon a makes him saint. (though I would not classify him as such) He definitely did the right thing in this case. Wisdom AND backbone!

It is amazing how the Left vilifies Nixon.

He did a lot of things right. He militarily showed decisive use of power in Viet Nam during the Christmas bombing. That could have won the war if not for the whimpy congressional handwringing.

Can you imagine if the internet were active then, how much of the anti-Nixon bias may have been neutralized by facts? As it is now his legacy was written by the lamestream media through their prism. And, they hated him very much like they did President Bush. IMHO both got the same treatment but blog sites like this one brought out the truth like in the Rather memo scandal in President Bush's case.

In my book Richard M Nixon did quite a few things right. I went into the military when while LBJ was President but thank God Nixon was president while I was off the coast of Viet Nam.

The things that Nixon did and was accused of doing pale compared to what is happening in the current adminstration.
