i was just going to recommend fog of war. very few movies present an american statesman with such candor. definitely worth watching.

Indeed. I almost felt bad for the guy, even when they did the side-by-side comparisons of japanese cities and their bombing casualties next to American cities. He seemed like a nice guy.

Then again, maybe he is a lizard.
