The Fog of War is great movie about American history. It is a documentary starring former secretary of defense Robert E. MacNamara. MacNamara makes some intresting comments. I advise all on this site to check it out.
On the World War II bombing of Tokyo.
"If we had lost we would all be tried as war criminals"
"In my time we had the power to destroy cities. Now we can destroy nations"
- not an exact quote but something similar.
He talks about many lessons he learned in his life about world politics.
However, he has no apologies for Vietnam and probably none for Japan.
