[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1726793, member: 4319"] Some really solid posting from an interesting viewpoint. The fact you arrived here a few days after calling most scientists "chimps" is impressive. :D I'll disagree with you in that it didn't take Ike until he left office to realize what was up. He railed against the same things the entire time he was in office. Chance for Peace speech with the Soviet comparisons came after Stalin's death - 3 months after Ike took office. I think he felt a lot of political pressure and watched a lot things occur in the defense realm during his time in office that he didn't approve of, and yeah, by the time he left office he probably did feel that he was conned in regards to the Soviets and the Cold War. For him to use the platform of his farewell address to speak that stridently about the subject was really telling. The 'ol boy was pissed. [/QUOTE]
