I love the quiet thoughtful tone of Moyers' interviews. This was beautifully done.

Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too strong. - What an emotional idiot hong kingston is, "they feel - "Feel" betrayed, "sense of loss, sense of longing, really understand, I feel, I feel, I feel," sad & tragic, non-thinking fools or lying treasonous rats - the politicians caused us to lose the war in Viet Nam and the politicians will cause the loss of the war in Iraq as well...eventually a one-world government of enforced "peace" is what we will have..
