This is total war… If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely and we don’t try to piece together clever diplomacy, but just wage a total war, our children will sing great songs about us years from now.
–Richard Perle, quoted in Eliot Weinberger, What Happened Here: Bush Chronicles (2005), p. 72
it is a frightening time
got your note, Mark, and though we’ve lived through many presidents (myself including Nixon!) I don’t think we have seen anything quite like this president elect ever. We’ve had sneaks, cheaters, great speakers, idiots, glorious statesmen, builders and destroyers but no one ever like Trump I think it’s scary – trying to stay above the fray but not too well!
PEACE
