As we remember the late Robert McNamara, we can look back to the publication of his 1995 memoir, “In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam,” to see the conversations that surrounded McNamara’s take on the Vietnam War. Truthdig’s own Robert Scheer appears in a round-table discussion alongside former Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

that was a cool show…. i love robert scheer.  it’s great that there’s somebody out there who really lays it on the line about the doings of our government and big business in an understandable fashion. i say thank you for that.  isn’t it interesting how the same old shit comes back around (i.e. the gulf wars vs vietnam war) when there are plainly voices out there screaming, “no!!  stop!!  don’t do it!”....“don’t start another questionable if not illegal war!”.  it just goes to show how little power we have.  the people controlling things do what they want i guess.  like cartman! “i do what i want bitch!...i do what i want!” ha! cartman…get it.
