White House Tapes

ColdType - Writing Worth Reading From Around The World:

A conversation regarding the Vietnam war.

Nixon: 'I still think we ought to take the dikes out…. Will that drown people?'"

Kissinger: 'About 200,000 people.'

Nixon: 'No, no, no…. I'd rather use the nuclear bomb…. I just want you to think big, Henry, for Christ's sakes.'"

Now. Do any of you really think the Texacutioner is a more ethical person than Nixon when it comes to concern over the lives of "enemy" civilians? If you do, think again.
