Well, now,
this is thoroughly disappointing!
Well, now you know how Barry Goldwater felt in 1964.
In your heart you know he's right …

I actually remember AU-H2O bumper stickers.
Memory. The sick irony of Goldwater losing from being painted as a warmonger, only to have peace-nic LBJ procede to use a ridiculous pretext, without fact-checking, to get us into a dumber and nastier and more useless war than anything we've had since, right up till 2003.
Tonkin Gulf was a lot like Saddam's WMDs, actually. If you
want to pick a war, any excuse will do.
