I am working my way through Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick's Untold History. I
am in the chapter opening the Cold War. There are no big revelations, just the
small minded business people who dominate the political process. It's a kind of
horror of the ordinary. Harry Truman's big thrill was having the atomic bomb to
show off to the Russians, Obama fits the mould of about Truman's scale.
I suppose Hagel is the better choice, compared to what?
This history is vastly depressing in its undying mediocrity of the trivial. Our
greatest vision is an aircraft carrier flying sorties over Afghanistan?
