What the ’debacle’ in Vietnam taught us Helen, was a sense of humility,quietly shared by millions, over time it obviously faded.
This feeling is not easily passed from one generation to another, nor found in the genetic code or the DNA.
The return of hubris was in the covert and secret operations authorized by Jimmy Carter to provide Russia with ’their own Vietnam’ in Afghanistan.
This feeling of American omnipitence (tempered with caution) was vigorously renewed by George the Dad.
George the Son has taken hubris (as the expression goes, to another level) with a preemptive war and delusions commonly shared by all powerful leaders from the Caesars to Mr. A Hitler.
