  1. I actually came away from the Moyers piece felling somewhat sorry for LBJ. It seems he didn't want things to go the way they did.

  2. Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the impression Moyers wanted us to get, and I don't think it is a lie anymore. You almost feel sorry for him, except that he was weighing all this on the politics of it... trying not to get howled out of office by the warmongers... except then he fucks up, does the wrong thing, and howls HIMSELF out of office. You almost could believe with this that presidents really are at the mercy of the MIC but then you have to haul yourself back up from it to remember that it's all unconstitutional, all stuff that should be fixed, no matter what the price, including assassination, and it never IS fixed. They all stay bought, or scared, and take refuge in their slot in history. Fuck them.
