Fog of War

I watched Fog of War last night. It is an interview with Robert S. McNamara about eleven "lessons" that he learned from his involvement in World War II with the Air Force as well as the Cuban Missle Crisis and the Vietnam War as Secretary of Defense.

For some reason I thought it was about Henry Kissinger. [How can you rent a documentary and not know who it is about, you ask? Well, it was playing at the Princess Cinema last year, but for some reason I never went even though it looked interesting. I know Ram went and said it was good, so that's sufficent :-)].

I found it to be interesting and thought provoking. It is also fairly topical. (i.e. It doesn't take a degree in rocket science to apply what he says to current US foreign policy).

It was good, but listening a single person talk for almost two hours stretched my attention span a little. Overall, I'll give it 3/5 stars. (3.5 if I wasn't limited to an integral amount of stars).
