A while back I was thinking about defining moments in my life, such as the Kennedy assasinations, the Cuban missle crisis, the Vietnam War, and Martin Luther King's assasination. I realized that the only other time I've felt threatened at home besides now was during the standoff with the Soviet Union over Cuba. I was very young and have a vague memory of that being a very dangerous time. After watching Thirteen Days last night, I now realize how close we came to nuclear war. And got a better feeling for how much pressure a President is under from the military establishment during a conflict. I hope Bush has what it takes to properly deal with the current military leaders.
