Reply #119: yes, you aged darling

(only a year or two older than myself):-) I do remember Watergate very well. I lived in the DC metropolitan area at the time and it was a regularly discussed topic at the family dinner table. I was only 12-13 years old but my father made sure we kids read the reports in the Washington Post and would ask us questions about it during dinner. At the time my father was in the military and stationed at the Pentagon. He did not vote for Nixon in 1968 -- he was in Vietnam that year and voted for Humphrey. My father could tell you stories all day long about the phony Gulf of Tonkin incident and other Vietnam blunders and fabricated stories. The Iraq and Vietnam wars were both started for false reasons.

As young and naive as I was at 13, I was still appalled at what Nixon would resort to. As far as I'm concerned * makes Nixon look like Mother Theresa. There are similarities. Maybe because I'm older now and understand more about the issues I think * far worse than Nixon. I hope he meets with the same fate that Nixon did. Or worse.

Those break-ins in PA were I'm sure just the tip of the iceberg. I just wish we could get stories like this out into the mainstream media.
