Thanks Bruce. We’re in the process of relocating to the DC area, family, friends and an apartment we like. If you pass through, let me know, I will almost certainly need a drink. Best

9 years old in 1975; never had one day/minute/second of life that my *leadership* was not involved in dirty, illegal, elite/corporate benefitting foreign “interventions”. It happened on YOUR watch, Boomer and, apparently, with your approval. This article could have been so much more, given your elite credentials & professional understanding of the “system” yet you turned it into a resist moment. Young adults are rightly cynical, but they never stood a chance when history revisionism is so pervasive.

Peter, You took me back and I remember the turmoil and fear and the hand-wringing, and "Platoon" and you were able to put it all in perspective as we look back. Now looking forward I hope we can also, one day, look back at what is happening and smile briefly as we--or our descendants--look forward to what is next to come.
