Boy, Rob Reiner is a terrible historian.
What has he been reading? Or smoking?
Lyndon Johnson would have been a poor president even if Vietnam had ended early. I mean he screwed up JFK's foreign policy in the Middle East, Domincian Republic, Brazil, and Indonesia, for starters. What about what he condoned in Greece?
But the point is, how can one separate LBJ from Vietnam? It was his monster. Its like the old joke, "Mrs. Lincoln, besides your husband's murder, how did you like the play?"
