Oliver Stone on the Untold U.S. History from Atomic Age, Vietnam to Obama's Drone War

7. Well, I was taught that we reluctantly dropped the bomb on Japan to end the fanatical Japanese

from fighting individual wars throughout the Pacific.

I was never taught about the Russian invasion of Japan. I did wonder why we would care if crazy fanatical Japanese soldiers hid out in tunnels throughout the pacific islands.

I never heard about Wallace. Damn, Wallace, like Al Gore, was a man who could have made a huge difference for the better of society and the planet. We seem to come to the brink of a beautiful social revolution and then we crush it under the heel of tyranny.

Instead of visionaries like Wallace, we end up with crazy loons like Raygun, Nixon and W. or mediocre people like Carter, Clinton and Obama.
