Marshall.

Kissinger's exploits during the 1968 campaign poison my view of him...

So you really honestly believe if Carter was reelected the United States would today be a commnist country under Soviet rule?



No, but I believe much more of the planet would be, both in terms of land area and in terms of percentage of the population.

There are two votes I can see a reasonable person casting.  The first is for George Marhsall, the second is for George Schultz.  I voted for Schultz.

Or you could vote for Al Haig if you were trying to be funny.
