The website is pretty nice:

I saw this movie today. How very interesting! It is difficult, I believe, to blame people for their decisions in the end.

The way it is presented by MacNamara, there were never easy choices, even if they appeared done with ease.

Amazing how a "yes" or "no" can make History.

Edit: some missing and misplaced letters...

Really looking forward to seeing this. Almost saw it last night but the gf wanted to see Lost in Translation instead (which was a good one also).

What I thought more interesting is the role that Curtis Lemay had in MacNamara's life.

I finished "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" lately and saw the play "Copenhagen" (which presents among other things, Heisenberg's participation in the German atomic bomb research).

This whole set of information was so enlightning for me! It is amazing how many people are actually influential in the course of a war. But it all sums up to a few who make the final decisions; so all those influences cannot make for "good" final decisions.

Well. The movie expresses it much better than I can.
