I saw him talk in my locale when I grew up to much fanfare. As a youth I was more conservative. But even then, when I thought I liked him, he was pressed by more liberal students of the local college about covert action in Cambodia, or another contentious issue. His smug response and style, as in history will remember favorably for my GTD style of realpolitik, even then far more conservative than my current self, found that repulsive and alarming. I expected that from fellow HSers. But then again I was young and did not realize all politicians in the US are welcomed to act like children. Coming from German Jewish background, how can he himself not cringe on the effectiveness of genocide comment?
