Not a "war crime". But a human tragedy that was the result of a war and the end result of attacking America.

There was no need to attack America and definitely not a great idea.

Truman belongs to the Ages and is currently in the Nothing. (And the Nothing Matters. A lot!)

Have we learned anything? Only time will tell.

So it goes.

It's easy to second guess a Commanders decision in the heat of battle.. now. In the comfort of our homes in an America that still speaks English as its primary language.

If you haven't seen or read The Man in the High Castle by the visionary Philip K Dick check it out. It's a good projection of what America would have been like if we had lost.

But because of those decisions we did not lose. So now it's easy to second guess how we could have done better and maybe we will learn from those lessons of history. In English.

If, that is, we choose to learn from history and not forget it and bury it and then repeat it.
