The War
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007
PBS has a great support site for the now ending Ken Burns film The War with background on the various people interviewed and indexed video.
The film had gotten mixed reviews but I’ve been glued to it since the start. When you compare what the US did then vs. what’s happeniing now in Iraq it’s mindboggling. It’s not only that we don’t have the recources to fight a war like we did then, we also don’t have the leadership and the will.
We also don’t have a reason.
Amen Sheryl.
In related news I heard Ken Burns and Lynn Novick interviewed the other day by Tom Ashbrook on his show OnPoint and I have to say, they were both incredibly arrogant. Ashbrook is an excellent interviewer and it audibly took him by surprise I think.
