MORE TANCREDO BLOWBACK
Is this discussion getting out of hand? While liberals trot out their usual stuff, and conservatives, well, do kind of the same thing, here's a fresh perspective from the annals of hindsight:
Maybe he's not so crazy. Back in 1968, Curtis LeMay was running as George Wallace's Vice president. He said we could stop North Viet Nam from over running South Viet Nam by dropping 2 bombs on Hanoi and Haiphong. Liberals and conservative called him nuts; however if he had done so, There would have been no Communist victory and the deaths of about 250,000 would have prevented the deaths of 4 million, North and South; not to mention and additional 35,000 Americans. Maybe Tancredo has a point and it is not the top of his head.
