Nonetheless, it was his decision, & in retrospect he made the wrong decision resulting in thousands of deaths, multiple wars, & permanent changes to our lives as Americans. One could argue it’s a bit like blaming a field goal kicker for losing the game on a missed fg in the second quarter, but the fact remains…
