2. Rummy
McNamara is capable of admitting that he can be wrong.

3. How many years later?
McNamara, 30 years later has regrets.

Give me a break!

5. He didn't say he had "regrets". He said he was "mistaken".

4. Well, yeah, McNamara admitted he was wrong, but he laughed about it.
Rummy can't admit it. He never will.

Rummy laughs at the slaughter, anyway.

I can't decide. They're both evil.

6. McNamara is the epitome of evil
of my lifetime!

Rummy is minor league.

McNamara & Co KNEW we could not win, yet kept the war going.

58,000 dead.

7. Give Rummy time. He can top McNamara. However, if we had to
decide today, McNamara would pimp-slap Rummy, and call him a cheap piker.

8. Well McNamara
has a much higher body count than Rummy, but atleast has admitted to his mistakes (didn't he even say he could be considered for war crimes -- then again that might have been regarding the firebombing over Tokyo during WWII).

Anyways, hard to say...Rummy's the bigger ass hole, but McNamara still wins for having the higher body count.
