I also felt that. "Here's a guy who is trying to be understood", I thought. Towards the end, when Morris asks him Do you feel in any way responsible for the War? Do you feel guilty?, he's just too tired of explaining himself again and again: I don't want to go any further with this discussion. It just opens up more controversy. I don't want to add anything to Vietnam. It is so complex that anything I say will require additions and qualifications.

Has anyone seen Path to War? It's about the Lyndon Johnson Administration, and much of it concerns the Vietnam War. It has Alec Baldwin as McNamara. Good movie.
