Assuming this is in good faith.

prolonging the war in Vietnam

Latin America

Pretty much one of the worst pieces of shit to ever live, for which, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

What gets left out of this is how much he had to lie and scheme to do it all, which makes it worse to me. There's a lot to be said about the failings of the US military and general diplomacy throughout our history, but holy fuck.

That one guy is responsible for forcing (through deceit and other trickery) a big proportion of some of the worst atrocities our country has committed. He's seriously among the very worst people I can think of.

Wow, what a piece of shit. And he won a Nobel peace prize??? Well deserved death.

No, he died peacefully of old old age. He did not get the death he deserved in a public square, drawn and quartered. I would also have settled for slow impalement.
