Goodness. Were things were actually so simple, and all that we needed to do
was mass our forces and drive on in our righteousness, fervently against the
commie capitals? How could we have missed anything so obvious?

I mean, was Truman really that stupid? And did he pass his stupidity on,
across party lines, to Eisenhower? Did Kennedy allow his democratitude
blind him so terribly? Was LBJ driven by stupidity into the highest office
in the land?

Or are you simply a fucking idiot?

The answer is not far to seek.
