Writes Robert Bowers: “I’m reminded that Bob McNamara states, in his film, The Fog of War, that LeMay once said that he would have been considered ‘a war criminal’ had the US lost World War II. “Of course, LeMay was a war criminal, snd should always be remembered as one, just as I believe George W. Bush and Company will someday be remembered.”

Anthony, LeMay–depicted appropriately enough in Dr. Strangelove–also helped murder perhaps a million civilians in North Korea. That’s another forgotten war. ADDED: Notice in this article some of the truth about another conservative hero, Douglas MacArthur. One of Doug’s first acts as dictator of Japan was to legalize and subsidize abortion. But the pro-lifers still love him as an effective killer for the state.
