This is puzzling.
I never believed he was a dolt.
Intelligent politicians pretending to be anti-intellectual to catch the right wing working class vote are standard here too.
But history books?
They tell us that things never work out as you expect.
Unless they did?
Maybe it's simpler than that? The application of force to back up a black and white world view; that and the uniforms.There was an argument made somewhere for an all round presidential pardon (from Bush), as a less bad option for dealing with the present lot.
It saves Obama from a difficult choice and unfruitful course, and acknowledges that the problems have been systemic.
