I was intrigued by two recent U.S. antiwar movies -- Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911," and "The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara," directed by Errol Morris. The former denounces U.S. President George W. Bush's justification for the Iraq War; the latter is based on an interview with the former defense secretary on the subject of U.S. conduct in air raids on Japan during the Pacific War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. Both movies were interesting, dealing with American sentiments on war.
I was more impressed with "The Fog of War." McNamara's observations on U.S. incendiary bombings of Japanese cities deeply affected me:
"(Air Force Gen. Curtis) LeMay said, if we'd lost the war, we'd all have been prosecuted as war criminals. And I think he's right.
