Yeah, I guess I was thinking about his parting warning about the shadow government and military/industrial complex. Dresden was indeed an atrocity. But the victors always get to re-write history. I get the idea that Ronnie Raygun was a decent sort, but I think he was controlled to a great extent nevertheless. Looking back further . . . not Truman with the atomic bombs. Certainly not Roosevelt. Kinda scary to realize just how long we have been duped. In retrospect, Goldwater might have been one who wasn't controlled, but they did a number on him to make sure he had no chance.
