Not meant to strengthen but I will agree that Wilson was an idiot and a liar. And yes I do concede that there were munitions on the Lusitania; I would be a dishonest student of history if I discounted that. However, I will not say that intentionally he sent those people to their deaths as I believe you implied. I place a lions share of the blame on Churchill and the Admiralty for allowing the Lusitania to sail into the path of a U-boat that was blockading the UK. I have a book written in 1919 about the history of the Naval side of WWI. I will share some things with you that you may find interesting and pertain to the discussion on Monday. Until then, here's hoping you have a good weekend.

It was not my intention to imply a Wilson conspiracy; it was my intention to point out that Wilson was actively involved in violating the terms of American neutrality and understood that the Germans were liable to strike back. I look forward to your comments on Monday and, glimpsing into the future, we will have much common ground RE: Churchill.
