Read Hitchen's piece at Slate to see the ugly truth about Ford's reign. http://www.slate.com/id/2156400/fr/flyout "1. Disgraced the United States in Iraq and inaugurated a long period of calamitous misjudgment of that country. 2. Colluded with the Indonesian dictatorship in a gross violation of international law that led to a near-genocide in East Timor. 3. Delivered a resounding snub to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn at the time when the Soviet dissident movement was in the greatest need of solidarity." Nice "The Ford epoch did not banish a nightmare. It ended a dream—the ideal of equal justice under the law that would extend to a crooked and venal president. And in Iraq and Indonesia and Indochina, it either protracted existing nightmares or gave birth to new ones." 506600@blogcritics.org Sun, 7 Jan 2007 23:46:05 EST
